Hello Pete,

The correct way to hide a RadSlidingPane's tab is to reference the sliding pane and call its hideTab() method which is listed below:

In case you still experience problems, please prepare a sample, fully runnable reproduction demo, open a new support ticket and send it to us along with screenshots with the problem marked and detailed explanations of the actual and the desired behavior.

Kind regards,

I think you misunderstood me. I realise that this code is javascript and does not depend on vb / c#. However, we have a need to set the pane's tab (or the whole tab) to visible or invisible from our VB code, depending on other VB events. I cannot find a way to change the visible setting in VB code - is this possible? We would prefer to avoid dipping in and out of java here when the other events are all VB-managed.

Also, we have created a handler for the Rad Ajax manager and a RadAjaxManager_ajaxRequest sub to change some other vb settings when specific panes are selected. As well as some other changes that are "fired" bu this, we want to change the text is some labels in one of the panes, but we cannot get these to show after this request has been handled. If the request is raised by the onclientbeforeexpand event of one of the panes, and the label that needs to change is in the same pane, what would be the initiator and target we should set in the AJAX manager?

Best regards, Neil

Hi guys,

Straight to your questions:

Petri, I am not exactly sure what element you want to hide - as far as I understood, you want to hide the whole tabs container. If so, you can do this by using the following code:

    
                 $find("<%=RadSlidingZone1.ClientID %>").getTabsContainer().style.display = "none";

If you do not need to hide the element dynamically with javascript, you can also do this by finding the exact element with IEDevToolBar or Firebug tools, extract its class and override the display to be none.

Neil, there is no server method or property which can be used to hide a RadSlidingPane's tab. However, you can use the client approach and execute the script from the server in the desired server event. Executing a script from the server is a common task and not related to RadControls, you should choose the best way for your case, e.g use the ScriptManager or ClientScriptManager's RegisterStartupScript method, etc.

As to updating the splitter with AJAX in different scenarios, you can find a detailed KB article below:
