Load Associated Controls on Tab selection not onPage Load

[Brijendra Kumar]

Dear All,

I have One tabstrip and a multipage associated with this tabstrip.
I want to load controls when user selects the tab. Does anyone know how to do it please tell me ...

 

<telerik:RadTabStrip ID="rdTabCustomer" runat="server" MultiPageID="a">

 

 

 

 

<Tabs>

 

 

 

 

<telerik:RadTab Text="Caller" Value="Caller">

 

 

 

 

</telerik:RadTab>

 

 

 

 

<telerik:RadTab Text="Customer" Value="Customer">

 

 

 

 

</telerik:RadTab>

 

 

 

 

</Tabs>

 

 

 

 

</telerik:RadTabStrip><telerik:RadMultiPage ID="a" runat="server">

 

 

 

 

<telerik:RadPageView ID="aa" runat="server">

 

 

 

 

<General:Generalcc ID="sss" runat="server" />

 

 

 

 

</telerik:RadPageView>

 

 

 

 

<telerik:RadPageView ID="RadPageView1" runat="server">

 

 

 

 

<General:GeneralCustomer ID="GeneralCustomer1" runat="server" />

 

 

 

 

</telerik:RadPageView>

 

 

 

 

</telerik:RadMultiPage>


Thanks & Regards

Personally I use an iframe to load the control on tab click, there are a few other options though.

You can use the renderselectedpageonly tag in the tabstrip, this is used to optimise page load but requires rework to the tab selection in some scenarios.

You can dynamically load user controls into the multipage, in C# I use something like this to load an ASCX into a new tab:

PageView newPage = new PageView();
newPage.ID = "pv" + (mpgContents.PageViews.Count).ToString();
newPage.CssClass = "JobList_tabPage";
mpgContents.PageViews.Add(newPage);
Control objControl = LoadControl(userControlName);
newPage.Controls.Add(objControl);
