Hi,
I have a main page (default.aspx) with a RadTabStrip, and associated RadMultiPage and RadPageViews. The RadPageViews use ContentURL to load their content. On the first ContentURL page I have a button which when clicked should cause the RadTabStrip's second tab to be selected. This is somewhat similar to the TabStrip/Wizard demo program. My problem is in the first ContentURL page's button clicked callback I can't get the reference to the RadTabStrip control using FindControl - FindControl returns null. Is what I'm trying to do possible?
Thanks,
Mike
Here's my code:

Hi Mike,
Unfortunately since the ContentUrl property renders an iframe you can not access the RadTabStrip control from the ContentUrl page. You can also refer to the following forum posts where similar issues are being discussed:
