highlight selected page

[Sharon]

I have page view in mode backstage.

How do I highlight the selected page?

I need the selected page remain highlight even when the pageView has lost the focus.

 

Thanks!

The currently selected page is being persisted. Please refer to the attached video. In case you keep experiencing issues please provide me with more details about your actual scenario. A sample code snippet demonstrating your local setup would also help.

I hope this helps. Should you have further questions please do not hesitate to write back.

Hi Tehila,

Thank you for writing.

We are not aware of an issue resulting in the described behavior. The screenshot suggests that it may be related to the theme you are using.

Can you please specify the theme and the version of the controls? I am also attaching my test project.

I hope this helps. Looking forward to your reply.

Dear Hristo,
Digging further I noticed the following:
Attached is a diagram of how it works by us.
The radpageview doesn’t highlight the selected pageView/tab in the parent control

Hi Tehila,

Thank you for writing back.

It is hard to investigate the reported behavior because we are not able to reproduce it. Can you please open up a support ticket and attach a sample project demonstrating the issue?

I hope this helps.

I don't know what the cause is, but this solution worked for me.

Change the viewmode property of the RadPageView control, then change it back to what you want.  In my case, tabs were not being highlighted when they where selected.  After I programmatically filled the RadPageView with pages, the tab all showed up, but would not get highlighted as the uses switched between them.  This resolved the problem. 

 radPView1.ViewMode = PageViewMode.Backstage;
 radPView1.ViewMode = PageViewMode.Strip;

Hi Steve,

Thank you for the update. I am glad that you managed to resolve the issue.

I have an update about this solution I posted.   That is: 

radPView1.ViewMode = PageViewMode.Backstage;

radPView1.ViewMode = PageViewMode.Strip;

I am using the control in Strip mode and was also noticing that the selected tab did not highlight. 

The two lines above did resolve my problem, however I have since found the cause of the problem.  Before toggling ViewMode, I was calling .BeginInit() and .EndInit().  Calling these methods caused the tabs to stop highlighting. 

Toggling the ViewMode fixed the tab highlighting problem, but caused  the drag and drop tabs feature to stop working.  So, the bottom line it that resolving one problem caused another with the control. 

After some experimenting I realized that I don't need .BeginInit() and .EndInit(). This means I don't need to toggle the ViewMode bit after all.  So, in my case, I took out the unneeded lines and everything is working fine for me. 

I guess the take-way is: If you're having trouble with RadPageView behaving, it may be because changing certain attributes seems to unexpectedly effect how the control operates.

Hello Steve,

Thank you for writing.

The BeginInit and EndInit methods are defined in the ISupportInitialize interface and implemented in the base RadControl class. They are used to suspend the layout while initializing the control in the designer of Visual Studio and they are not intended to be used at run-time. As you have already posted, this may lead to unexpected and not desired behavior.

Let me know if you are having other questions.
