How to select a tab programmatically?

[Donovan Bell]

Hi,

Is there a special trick to programatically select a tab? I've tried the PerformClick() method to no avail.

Thanks

Hi Donovan,

In order to select a tab programmatically you should use set the SelectedTab property of RadTabStrip as in the example below:

DockPresenterElement presenter = ((DockPresenterControl)activeControl).DockPresenterElement;
   foreach (TabItem tab in presenter.TabStripElement.Items)
   {
       if (tab.HitTest(activeControl.PointToClient(clickPoint)))
       {
             presenter.TabStripElement.SelectedTab = tab;
       }
   }

I've forwarded this to the documentation team to include it in the help files.

Please, don't hesitate to write us back if you have further questions.

Best wishes,
