Hide/disable Tab on OnTabDataBound

[Softec]

Hi

I've bound my RadTabStrip to a SiteMapDataSource and want to hide or disable certain tabs depending on SiteMapNodeAttributes. But my settings (enabled/visible) are ignored. 

(GetBool() is a function to test and cast the value, true is the fallback value.)

        protected override void OnTabDataBound(telerik.RadTabStripEventArgs e)
        {
            e.Tab.Enabled = (e.Tab.DataItem as System.Web.SiteMapNode)["enabled"].GetBool(true);
            e.Tab.Visible = (e.Tab.DataItem as System.Web.SiteMapNode)["visible"].GetBool(true);

            base.OnTabDataBound(e);
        }

The only way to hide a tab was by removing it completly...

            if (!(e.Tab.DataItem as System.Web.SiteMapNode)["visible"].GetBool(true))
            {
                this.Tabs.Remove(e.Tab);
            }

So when is the right moment to do this? I tried it in OnDataBound but then the DataItem of the node is empty...

Hi Studatch,

I tried following code snippet in order to hide the tabs based on SiteMapNode attributes. Give a try with this.

C#:

protected void RadTabStrip1_TabDataBound1(object sender, RadTabStripEventArgs e)
{
    e.Tab.Enabled = Convert.ToBoolean((e.Tab.DataItem as System.Web.SiteMapNode)["enabled"]);
    e.Tab.Visible = Convert.ToBoolean((e.Tab.DataItem as System.Web.SiteMapNode)["visible"]);
}

Also you can checkout the following documentation that shows how to use SiteMapDataSorce with RadTabStrip:

Thanks for your reply, it sent me looking further around and I found the problem at another place!
