How to disable tab select?

[Pauli]

Hi !

I have a tab strip and the tabs open in a frame.
I do not want the tab (which I clicked) to change color/state.

Is there some other way to do this, apart from changing the CSS selected to something like the normal CSS?
Something like some property to disable or a javascript to reset the tab strip (no tabs have been clicked)?

Hope that you have understood my query and that you can help me out.

Regards.

Hi Yashvin,

Give a try with following code snippet to disable the tab selection and see if it helps.

ASPX:

<telerik:RadTabStrip ID="RadTabStrip1"  MultiPageID="RadMultiPage1" OnClientTabSelecting="TabSelecting"  runat="server">
        ....

JS:

<script type="text/javascript" >

   function TabSelecting(sender, eventArgs)
   {
     eventArgs.set_cancel(true);
   }
</script>

Thanks
Princy

Hi!

Thanks for ur answer, it had put me on the right track to solve my problem.

So, here is the modified function:
       function TabSelecting(sender, eventArgs)
       {
            var tab = eventArgs.get_tab();
            var navigateUrl = tab.get_navigateUrl();
            parent.LoadURLOnglet(navigateUrl);
            eventArgs.set_cancel(true);
       }

The navigateUrl gets the link which is supposed to be loaded when the user clicks a tab.
I get this link and then, call another function "parent.LoadURLOnglet(navigateUrl);" ( which loads this link separately in another frame - that's how my system works)
Finally, I cancel the eventArgs.

This seems the easiest way to hide the "selected" tab effect.
Another way can be to set the CSS hover tab as the normal link tab.

Hope I talked sense here, please feel free to share your part.
