Morning,

Anyone know how to do this?

I tried: rbTBMgr.CommandTabs["Tools"].Select()

Commandtabs dont seem to have a .IsSelect().

All I want to do is make a tab selected!

Frustrated infragistics user!

Hello, Deasun,      

In order to select a certain tab, you an directly set the RibbonTab.IsSelected property to true in the Load event. Thus, the desired tab will be selected. I have attached a sample project for your reference.

I hope this information helps. If you have any additional questions, please let me know.

Thanks for the reply.

What I was trying to do was stop the user from switching to another tab while they were editing data.

I was hoping to do something in the _CommandTabSelected event.
Like: If Mode = EDIT then CommandTab.Selected = Commandtab.Previoustab

But I dont see any property like that.
After reading some forums it seems I have to keep track of previoustab myself.

After doing that I tried to set the tab back to the tab their editing on.
Something like: rbTBMgr.Commandtab["Tools"].selected = true
Couldnt find anything close to that. Ended up with this:
rbTBMgr.RibbonBarElement.TabStripElement.SelectedItem = rbTBMgr.RibbonBarElement.TabStripElement.Items[1];

But I have to keep track of the index now. I couldnt find a way to reference the tab by name.
Something like:
rbTBMgr.RibbonBarElement.TabStripElement.SelectedItem = rbTBMgr.RibbonBarElement.TabStripElement.Items["Tools"];

Is there no simplier why to do this?

Thanks
Deasun
