[Solved] Persistence of tabs dynamically created for tabStrip within a Master Page

[David]

Hello,

I have a question regarding persistence of a tab that's dynamically added to a radTabStrip contained in a master page.

• I have a masterPage (master1.master) that contains a radTabStrip control (masterTabStrip).  masterTabStrip contains a single tab created at design time: text is "Home", navigateURL is "Home.aspx"
• I have an aspx page (Home.aspx) that uses master1.master.
• On Home.aspx's page_load event, I check if IsPostBack == false.  If it is false a new tab is dynamically added to masterTabStrip with text "Page2" and navigateURL is "Page2.aspx".
• Page2.aspx also uses master1.master.
• On Home.aspx there's a button that causes a postback where a redirect to Page2.aspx is done.
• Page2.aspx loads with only the "Home" tab visible.  There is no "Page2" tab.

Why is the "Page2" tab gone?  Is there a property that can be set to enable masterTabStrip to maintain state between different aspx pages?

Thanks,
David

Hi David,

I'm afraid this functionality cannot be achieved out-of-the-box. You will have to manually set flags in a session cookie for all page that have been visited and add the needed tabs every time.
