TabControl selectedItem not showing

[Nik]

Hi,
I was hoping that when I select a tab using the overflow drop down it would select the tab in the first position (0) as described in the post (Unexpected behavior when using overflow button). However, this is not happening and the tab that is selected is not visible at all.  Is there a way to get this to work? 
Thanks,
Nik

Hello Nik,

I agree with you. We will consider scrolling into view to be the default behavior of the overflow. You can use the alternative overflow behavior, which could be activated using the following syntax:

this.radTabStrip2.TabStripElement.TabStripOverFlowBehavior = Telerik.WinControls.UI.TabStrip.OverFlowBehavior.BringIntoView;

I hope this helps. If you have any other questions please write me back.

Sincerely yours,

Thanks!

I am still having one more issue.  When I set a tab to be selected, 

 foreach (TabItem t in this.mainTabControl.Items)
            {
                if (t.Tag == cc)
                {
                    this.mainTabControl.SelectedTab = t;
                    alreadyOpen = true;
                    
                }
            }

If the tab is off the screen it is not brought into view.  I have tried Focus() and that does not work.  Is there a way to bring the selected tab into view?

Thanks,
Nik

Hi Nik,

Indeed if the tab is not in view you won't see it, even if it is selected. We don't have a metod which will bring the tab into view, but I can assure you that we will have it for the next version of the control.

Thank you very much about your valuable feedback. Please feel free to write me back if you have any additional issues.

All the best,

Hello Nik,

This is a quick followup.

Unfortunately, we did not have time to implement this feature for the latest Q1 2008 release. The feature is still on our ToDo list and we will do our best to include it as soon as possible.

Sorry if this brings you inconvenience.


Kind regards,

Has this functioanlity been added yet?  If so in what version did it first appear?  This is a huge issue for us since we have an IE 7 type dynamic tab strip at the heart of our application.  Currently when the user opens new tabs when the screen is already full they appear off screen and they have to manually scroll to them.  Not good at all!

Thanks

Hello Dan,

As you have noticed in this forum post, the desired feature is already implemented (introduced in Q1 2008) and you can show a tab that is not currently into view:

Me.RadTabStrip1.TabStripElement.ScrollIntoView(CType(Me.RadTabStrip1.Items(Me.RadTabStrip1.Items.Count - 1), TabItem))
CType(Me.RadTabStrip1.Items(Me.RadTabStrip1.Items.Count - 1), TabItem).IsSelected = True

If you have additonal questions, feel free to contact me.
