Greetings! I am trying to create a tabstrip that allows users to add, remove and rename their tabs. The add and remove are fairly straightforward, but I'm wondering if anyone has come up with a more elegant way to do the rename.
I was hoping for something along the lines of the treeview control which allows inline editing of the label, but I don't see this in regard to tabs. I can "fake it" by putting an editable field in the tab or creating a prompt, but I am hoping I'm missing something and it's easier than this.
Any suggestions are much appreciated!

Hello Mark,
Unfortunately, inline editing of tabs' text is not possible in the current version of the control. I have logged this suggestion in our TODO list, however at this point we cannot commit to a specific date for implementation.
Best wishes,

Hi Telerik,
Was this ever addressed? If not, could a mock-up be provided on best practice for letting user rename their tab? I currently create tabs with name "New Tab {0}" where {0} is the current tab count.
I believe I saw an example -somewhere- of the ability to click an item's text and have it become editable. I can't find it anywhere, though.
Thanks,
Sean

Hello Sean,
Unfortunately RadTabStrip doesn't support this functionality, you can use templates to achieve this. We're sorry for the inconvenience.
All the best,

Would it be possible to explain this a bit further?
I am looking into the item template example here but I was hoping to find an example where the user's double-click is captured, the label goes into some sort of 'edit' mode, and then when the label loses focus it moves back out of 'edit' mode.
The way I could think of doing this seems really complicated, though. It would be having two controls on every tab, one a text box and the other a label. The text box is initially set to visible=false, and the label set to visible=true. I would capture the label's double-click event and toggle the two control's visibility. This would then allow the user to enter a new name of the label. When the text box loses focus it toggles each controls visibility again.
Like I said, though, I am positive I saw an example of this functionality somewhere on the ASP.NET portion of the Telerik website. I've gone through a ton of the examples trying to find it again, but haven't been successful.

Hi Mark,
I guess that you've seen this in RadTreeView - it supports node editing.
Regarding the tabstrip - unfortunately you are right about the needed approach - you should place a label and a textbox in the template and use their events.
