Save/Reload Selected Tab

[Michelle]

How does one save the selected tab, so when an AJAX update occurs to rebind a control, the same tab stays selected?

Details:  I have a FormView.  Inside the FormView, I have a RadTabStrip control.  If the user clicks the third tab, for example, and then clicks the "Refresh" button, I'd like to load the third tab as the selected tab.  How can I do that?

Thanks,
Michelle

Hi Michelle,

You need to explicitly set the selected tab after ajax callback. The topic on Get the previously selected tab will help you achieve the required functionality.


All the best,

My senario is a little more complicated.
I select my "Tab", and then, on the selected tab-pageview, I have a button that pops open a radWindow. From the pop-up window, they select something, then when the popup window closes, I'm running the function:
OnClientClose="ReloadOnClientClose"
--------
function ReloadOnClientClose(sender, eventArgs) {
window.location.href = window.location.href;
}
 This is so the page will reload and refresh the datagrid with what the user added, however, it of course goes back to the first tab like the window was opened for the first time. Is there a way to make it go back to the tab they were on?
Thanks,

Hi Bill,

I'm afraid we cannot understand your requirement. I think it will be best if you can open a support ticket and send us a simple running project (incl. CSS, images, skins, DB backup if needed and so on) demonstrating the problem (and step-by-step instructions on doing so). In that way we can reproduce and pinpoint the problems you're facing on our side, understand the logic of your application and provide a solution.

Thanks beforehand for your patience and cooperation,
Paul

Hey, thanks for the help, but I found a work around..
It might not be the best, or right thing to do, but whenever I open a radwindow, I set the session varible for a tab:

(This is on the rad window that opens)

 

 

 

Protected Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.Load
    If Not Page.IsPostBack Then
       Session("Tab") = "Journal"
   End If
End Sub

 

Then, on the original page, I use this:

Protected Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.Load
   If Not Page.IsPostBack Then
      If Session("Tab") <> "" Then
       RadTabStrip1.FindTabByValue(Session("Tab")).Selected = True
       RadMultiPage1.FindPageViewByID RadTabStrip1.SelectedTab.PageViewID).Selected = True
       Session("Tab") = ""
      End If
   End If
End Sub

It seems to work OK, but my original problem was this.... I want to open a rad window, pick an item (it then writes to the database) and when they close the radwindow, I want to refreshthe datagrid on the original page, but I have to refresh the whole page (the original page). that is all I know to do.
Thanks,

Wow, I am reading Bobs question, and I have the exact same issue. I am perplexed that you don't understand the problem. You have a tab set, one of the tabs opens a rad window and updates info on one of the tabs, when closing the rad window how do you select a particualr tab and refresh the data so the data in the tab reflects whatever change was made in the rad window.

In my case we have a tab called notes, in order to add a new note, you click on a button that opens a rad window. After entering the new note, I want the notes tab to be refreshed and selected.
