I have a master page which contains the ribbon bar with multiple tabs.
When a user goes to a tab and clicks on a button or a split button, i redirect to relevant page from code behind.
protected void RadRibbonBar1_ButtonClick(object sender, Telerik.Web.UI.RibbonBarButtonClickEventArgs e) { NavigateToPage(e.Button.Text.Trim()); }// ---------------------------------private void NavigateToPage(string navigationText) { switch (navigationText.ToLowerInvariant()) { case "dashboard": { Response.Redirect("~/Default.aspx"); break; } case "button 01": { Response.Redirect("~/Default2.aspx"); break; } case "button 02": { Response.Redirect("~/Default3.aspx"); break; } default: break; } }Redirect happens fine & everything works except for one issue.
>> I need to keep the tab selected after being redirected. (if user clicks on a button contained in 'tab 02', after the redirect i need the ribbonbar to keep the 'tab 02' selected; but as it is, it resets to first tab after redirect. (using 2011 Q1 with server side events...)
Is it possible to achieve what I'm trying to do?
If it is how can it be done?

I would suggest that you use the Session (if possible in the case) in order to persist the selected tab index.
Alternatively you can use a cookie to persist this state client-side. Check my last response in this forum thread: http://www.telerik.com/community/forums/aspnet-ajax/treeview/scrollintoview-with-ajaxified-control-doesn-t-work.aspx
The forum discusses the persistence of state in cookie for RadTreeView, but the technique is applicable here, as well.
I hope this helps.

Thanks for quick response.
But I'm stuck at selecting selected index from ribbonbar & assigning it on pageload (I'm assuming pageload).
Can you give me a code snippet.
Here is an example:
- MasterPage with 3 content pages. MasterPage markup:
<%@ Master Language="C#" AutoEventWireup="true" CodeFile="MasterPage.master.cs" Inherits="Current_453862_RibbonBar_persist_selected_tab_in_master_page_MasterPage" %><%@ Register Assembly="Telerik.Web.UI" Namespace="Telerik.Web.UI" TagPrefix="telerik" %><!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"><html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"><head runat="server"> <title></title> <asp:ContentPlaceHolder ID="head" runat="server"> </asp:ContentPlaceHolder></head><body> <form id="form1" runat="server"> <div> <asp:ScriptManager runat="server" ID="ScriptManager1" /> <telerik:RadRibbonBar runat="server" ID="RadRibbonBar1" OnSelectedTabChange="RadRibbonBar1_SelectedTabChange"> <telerik:RibbonBarTab Text="Tab1"> <telerik:RibbonBarGroup Text="Group1"> <Items> <telerik:RibbonBarButton Text="Button1" /> </Items> </telerik:RibbonBarGroup> </telerik:RibbonBarTab> <telerik:RibbonBarTab Text="Tab2"> <telerik:RibbonBarGroup Text="Group2"> <Items> <telerik:RibbonBarButton Text="Button2" /> </Items> </telerik:RibbonBarGroup> </telerik:RibbonBarTab> <telerik:RibbonBarTab Text="Tab3"> <telerik:RibbonBarGroup Text="Group3"> <Items> <telerik:RibbonBarButton Text="Button3" /> </Items> </telerik:RibbonBarGroup> </telerik:RibbonBarTab> </telerik:RadRibbonBar> <a href="Default.aspx">Default.aspx</a> <a href="Default2.aspx">Default2.aspx</a> <a href="Default3.aspx">Default3.aspx</a> <asp:ContentPlaceHolder ID="ContentPlaceHolder1" runat="server"> </asp:ContentPlaceHolder> </div> </form></body></html>using System;public partial class Current_453862_RibbonBar_persist_selected_tab_in_master_page_MasterPage : System.Web.UI.MasterPage{ protected override void OnPreRender(EventArgs e) { if (Session["SelectedTabIndex"] != null) RadRibbonBar1.SelectedTabIndex = (int)Session["SelectedTabIndex"]; base.OnPreRender(e); } protected void RadRibbonBar1_SelectedTabChange(object sender, Telerik.Web.UI.RibbonBarSelectedTabChangeEventArgs e) { Session["SelectedTabIndex"] = RadRibbonBar1.Tabs.IndexOf(e.Tab); }}I hope this helps.
