Server Side Tab Issues

[Steen Bray]

Hi There,

I have a situation where I have a RadTabStrip, a RadMultiPage control and  RadGridView control.

The content is generated for the RadGridview dynamically. One of the columns is a GridButton Column, and when clicked, I want to catch the click, run a method on another WebUser Control contained in another Tab, and display the other tab.

I have most of this working.  I use the ItemCommand Event to catch the click of the GridButton Column, and use Parent.FindControl to get access to the RadTabStrip, RadMultiPage, and the WebUser control.

The code executes, but the Tab Strip never changes...  I'm not sure what to do to change it.

Here is the code that I execute in the ItemCommand event:

switch (e.CommandName)

{

case "cmdShowRelations":

strUniqueID = e.Item.OwnerTableView.DataKeyValues[e.Item.ItemIndex][

"uid"].ToString();

Telerik.Web.UI.

RadTabStrip rts = Parent.FindControl("RadTabStrip1") as RadTabStrip;

RadMultiPage mp = Parent.FindControl("mpPersonsSearch") as RadMultiPage;

ctlFindRelatedPersons frp = Parent.FindControl( "ctlFindRelated" ) as ctlFindRelatedPersons;

frp.LoadRelatedPerson(strUniqueID);

rts.FindTabByText(

"Related").Selected = true;

mp.SelectedIndex = rts.SelectedTab.Index;

break;

}

Hi Steen,

Actually, your code seems right - setting the Selected and SelectedIndex properties should be enough. However we suspect that you might be using ajax and your are forgetting to update the tabstrip and multipage controls on ajax request. Please check this out and let us know if you have further questions and/or problems.
