[Solved] How to return to MVC grid from form ?

[IQworks]

 I have an index.aspx page that uses tabstrip ....

<%@ Page Language="C#" MasterPageFile="~/Views/Shared/Work.Master"
 Inherits="System.Web.Mvc.ViewPage"   %>

<asp:Content ID="indexTitle" ContentPlaceHolderID="TitleContent" runat="server">
    Home Page
</asp:Content>

<asp:Content ID="indexContent" ContentPlaceHolderID="MainContent" runat="server">
   <h2>GridAndTabStrip</h2>

   <% Html.Telerik().TabStrip()
            .Name("AdminTab")
            .Items(tabstrip =>
            {
                tabstrip.Add()
                    .Text("Goals")
                    .LoadContentFrom("LoadOnDemandDocument", "Work");

                tabstrip.Add()
                    .Text("Issues")
                    .LoadContentFrom("LoadOnDemandDocument", "Work");

                tabstrip.Add()
                    .Text("CompanyWork")
                    .LoadContentFrom("CompanyGrid", "Work");

                tabstrip.Add()
                   .Text("CompanyNix")
                   .LoadContentFrom("CompanyNix", "Company");

                tabstrip.Add()
                 .Text("Company")
                 .LoadContentFrom("CompanyGrid", "Company");

                tabstrip.Add()
                .Text("CompanyEntry")
                .LoadContentFrom("CompanyCreate", "Company");

                tabstrip.Add()
              .Text("CompanyTabs")
              .LoadContentFrom("CompanyTabs", "Company");
            })
            .Render();
        %>
</asp:Content>

It launches the ".Text("Company") Companygrid .... 
 

<%@ Control Language="C#" Inherits="System.Web.Mvc.ViewUserControl<IEnumerable<BCAnalytics.Models.CompanyVM>>" %>

        <%= Html.Telerik().Grid(Model)
              .Name("CompanyGrid")
              .Columns(columns =>
                {
                    columns.Add(o => o.cMemberNo).Width(20);
                    columns.Add(o => o.cCompanyNo).Width(20);
                    columns.Add(o => o.cCompanyName).Width(50);
                    columns.Add(o => o.cEmail).Width(50);
                    columns.Add(o => o.cGroupCode).Width(50);
                    columns.Add(o => o.cDateCreated).Format("{0:MM/dd/yyyy}").Width(50);
                    columns.Add(o => o.cCompanyNo).Format(Html.ActionLink("Edit", "CompanyEdit", new { Id = "{0}" }, null).ToString()).Encoded(false).Title("");
                    columns.Add(o => o.cCompanyNo).Format(Html.ActionLink("Delete", "CompanyDelete", new { Id = "{0}" }, null).ToString()).Encoded(false).Title("");
                })
               .Ajax(settings => settings.Action("_AjaxBindingCompany", "Company"))
               .Pageable()
               .Sortable()
               .Scrollable()
               .Filterable() %>
   <p><%= Html.ActionLink("Create New", "CompanyCreate") %></p>

 the grid launches this form on Edit ....

<%@ Control Language="C#" Inherits="System.Web.Mvc.ViewUserControl<BCAnalytics.Models.Company>" %>

    <%= Html.ValidationSummary("This Company not updated, Please correct the errors and try again.") %>

    <% using (Html.BeginForm()) {%>

    <% } %>

    <div>
        <%=Html.ActionLink("Back to List", "Index","Work") %>
    </div>

after I submit the form , I am not quite sure how to go back to the index.aspx, call the 'CompanyGrid' tabstrip so the grid is automatically redisplayed ?
  How do you call a tabstip item ?

  thanks for your time

Hi IQWorks,

Your controller Index method (or whatever calls Index.aspx) can take an optional tab index to define the tab to be initially selected, e.g.

    public ActionResult Index(int? tabIndex)

and in Index.aspx you could have something like:

    int selected = tabIndex ?? 0;

with this added to the tabstrip definition:

    .SelectedIndex(selected);

Then your Edit form can call the Index method with the required tab index hard-wired.

    <%= Html.ActionLink("Back to List",

"Index", "Work", new { tabIndex = 4 }) %>

 

Something like that, anyway...

    Thanks Jim, 
            This helped me figure it out.
             The page that has my tabstrips look like this ...                 

                tabstrip.Add()
              .Text("CompanyTabs")
              .LoadContentFrom("CompanyTabs", "Company");
            })
            .SelectedIndex(Convert.ToInt32(TempData["workIndex"]))
            .Render();

       My actionlink in my companytabs looks like this ...

 <p><%= Html.ActionLink("Create New", "Index", "Work", new { workindex = 6 },null)%></p>

  the view controller looks like this ..

  public ActionResult Index(int? workindex)
        {
            TempData["workIndex"] = 0;
            if(workindex != null)
            TempData["workIndex"] = workindex;
            ViewData["orientation"] = "Horizontal"; // "Vertical";
            return View();
        }

 hopes this helps somebody
