RadTabStrip postsback with AutoPostback=false

[Ramesh]

Even if AutoPostback is set to false on a RADTabstrip ASP.Net AJAX control, the post back is not prevented and the control does a postback. Stepping thru the code, the Tabstrip client side javascript code looks for a property named "postback" and because it does not find it, forces a postback.

The previous version of RADTabStrip control did not do this.

Any ideas?

Hello Ramesh,

RadTabStrip will postback in two cases:

• The AutoPostBack property is set to true
• You have subscribed to the TabClick event

Albert,
Thank you for the quick response.

Yes I had subscribed to the TabClick event in the code behind and once that was removed TabStrip does not do a postback if Autopostback=false

However, this behavior is different from the previous version of the control (RADTabStrip). I upgraded my page from RADTabStrip to ASP.NET AJAX RadTabStrip (Q2 2008 version) and the postbacks started happening.

Hi

I wont to implement 2 modes for my TabStrip/MultiPage

ReadOnly - with no postback in TabClick.
Edit/Insert - with postback in TabClick.

but TabStrip will allways postback if i set the OnTabClick  property
and this property is not accessible from code behind.

how whould you do that?

Thanks

Hello,

You could add and remove event handler function from code behind in the following manner:

RadTabStrip1.TabClick += new RadTabStripEventHandler(RadTabStrip1_TabClick);
RadTabStrip1.TabClick -= new RadTabStripEventHandler(RadTabStrip1_TabClick);
