Is it possible to add tabs via an ajax updater? I'd like to do the following:

    
            Protected Sub NavMenu_ItemClick(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As Telerik.Web.UI.RadPanelBarEventArgs) Handles NavMenu.ItemClick 
        
                    Select Case e.Item.Value 
        
                        Case "PredefAllContacts" 
        
                            OpenTab(TabTypesEnum.TabContacts) 
        
                        Case "PredefContacts" 
        
                        Case "PredefDepartments" 
        
                        Case "PredefClients" 
        
                        Case "PredefMyOpenQueries" 
        
                        Case "PredefAllOpenQueries" 
        
                        Case "PredefAllQueries" 
        
                        Case "PredefAllParts" 
        
                    End Select 
        
                End Sub 
        
                Protected Sub OpenTab(ByVal NewTabTargetType As TabTypesEnum) 
        
                    'Scan the tabs to find the next id to create 
        
                    Dim NewTab As New Telerik.Web.UI.RadTab() 
        
                    Dim TargetName As String 
        
                    Dim TargetIndex As Integer = 0 
        
                    Select Case NewTabTargetType 
        
                        Case TabTypesEnum.TabContacts 
        
                            TargetName = "Contacts" 
        
                        Case TabTypesEnum.TabParts 
        
                            TargetName = "Parts" 
        
                        Case TabTypesEnum.TabQueries 
        
                            TargetName = "Queries" 
        
                        Case Else 
        
                            TargetName = "Contact" 
        
                    End Select 
        
                    While (From t As Telerik.Web.UI.RadTab In OpenTabs.Tabs Where t.Value = TargetName & TargetIndex).Count > 0 
        
                        TargetIndex += 1 
        
                    End While 
        
                    'The next id was found, create the tab 
        
                    NewTab.Text = TargetName 
        
                    NewTab.Value = TargetName & TargetIndex 
        
                    OpenTabs.Tabs.Add(NewTab) 
        
                    'Create a window control inside the tab 
        
                    Dim NewWindow As New Telerik.Web.UI.RadWindow() 
        
                    NewTab.Controls.Add(NewWindow) 
        
                    NewWindow.Width = NewTab.Width 
        
                    NewWindow.Height = NewTab.Height 
        
                    NewWindow.VisibleTitlebar = False 
        
                    NewWindow.VisibleStatusbar = False 
        
                    NewWindow.AutoSize = True 
        
                    NewWindow.NavigateUrl = "Contacts.aspx" 
        
                End Sub

If you look correctly i'm trying to achieve the following:
- from a panelbar item click
- open a new tab with a window control that display another page of my choice
- this other page is usually an editor of the choice of the user

It seems that if i postback the page, the redraw works because my tab gets rendered, but it doesn't via the ajax updater:

    
            <%@ Page Title="" Language="VB" AutoEventWireup="false" CodeFile="Main.aspx.vb" Inherits="Main" %>

Perfect its working fine now, my new concern if you can help is the following:

Is there a control i could add to the viewport that could load the content of a URL. I tried the window but it's not really convenient. What i'd need is some kind of simple iframe control that allows me to load the content of the editor into the multipageview control.

Using AJAX i can switch tab and show the correct editor and everything would be all nice and simple. The second reason i'd want some kind of simple iframe control is that i want my editors to be pages, because i want to let the user click on a DETACH button and the editor will fly off to a real popup window and the tab will be removed.

Is there any way to do what i'm asking with or without specific telerik controls...
