RabRibbonBar Tab Visible

[Jen]

Is it possible to hide a tab from code (c#).  I don't see a visibility property.

Hello Jen,

Currently the Tabs are accessible only indirectly. They belong to a nested RadTabStrip, which you can access in this way:

protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
 {
     var tabStrip = RadRibbonBar1.FindControl(RadRibbonBar1.ID + "_TabStrip") as RadTabStrip;

    //tabStrip.Tabs
 }

We are working on this and will have it resolved for the Service Pack at the latest.

All the best,

ok, so I try that (

RadTabStrip radTabStripMainNav = (RadTabStrip)RadRibbonBarMainNav.FindControl(RadRibbonBarMainNav.ID + "_TabStrip");)

And the count of tabs in the tab strip is zero.

Hello Jen,

Yes, you are right. I have mislead you. Only the TabStrip is available before PreRender. The Tabs are added just after PreRender, so you can use the same RadRibbonBar event:

protected override void OnLoad(System.EventArgs e)
{
    base.OnLoad(e);

    RadRibbonBar1.PreRender += new System.EventHandler(RadRibbonBar1_PreRender);
}

protected void RadRibbonBar1_PreRender(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
    var tabStrip = RadRibbonBar1.FindControl(RadRibbonBar1.ID + "_TabStrip") as RadTabStrip;

    //tabStrip.Tabs
}

Please excuse for my mistake and let me know how it goes with the code above.
