validate currently selected tab

[Craig Wallace]

Hi,

How can I force validation of the currently selected tab on tabclick?  The RadTabStripEventArgs object contains only information on the tab that was just clicked, not the tab that was previously selected.

Thanks,

Craig

Hello Craig,


Here is the documentation which describes on how to get the previously selected tab.

Hi Shinu,

Thanks for that.  I can now get the tab server-side, but how do I invoke client-side validation of the tab contents based on the tab value?  Also, how do I cancel the tabclick event if validation fails?

Thanks,

Craig

Hi Craig,

You can use OnClientTabSelecting event of RadTabStrip and use set_cancel(true) method to cancel the postback.
