    Hi,
    I am considering which approach should I use to make a menu navigation bar - sitemapdatasource or using the query string.
    My menu bar is dynamically generating menu base on row data in my database table.
    This demo is using Response.ApplyAppPathModifier(Request.Url.PathAndQuery) but I have seen there is an action to change those tabs.

    Dim tab As RadTab = RadTabStrip1.FindTabByUrl(urlWithSessionID)
    If Not IsNothing(tab) Then
       tab.SelectParents()
       tab.PageView.Selected = True
    End If

    so why do we need Response.ApplyAppPathModifier(Request.Url.PathAndQuery) here? I hope this will also help me develop my dynamically generating menu bar. Thx!

    Hi louis chan,

    We used that method to overcome a problem when you are in a cookieless mode and a session id is added in the URL.

    Hi Veskoni ,
    Thx for the reply! Does this sample mean if I go to another page but the the master page contains this tabstrip, then the tab will be selected?

    Hello louis chan,

    In Page_Load of the master page you just need to find the selected tab and then select the parents. The tricky part is to find the correct tab - we use FindTabByUrl.

    Hi Veskoni ,
    Yup, but one thing that is needed to be concerned. Let's take telerik as an example. The community and it's post is under "Developer Productivity", how could u determine this tab should be selected?

    Best Regards.

    Hello louis chan,

    Didn't the FindTabByUrl help? You find the tab by the url of the current request and select it.
    That is all. Am I missing something?

    Hi Veskoni,
    May be I misunderstand yr meaning. Let me introduce my situration.
    > Home (URL=http://abc.com)
      >Forum (URL=http://abc.com/forum/)
        >Top 5 Topics (URL=http://abc.com/topic5/)

    Top 5 Topics is a page and under forum tab. If I directly go to Top 5 Topics, Forum tab should be selected. As a result http://abc.com/topic5/ is not equal to http://abc.com/forum/ . How could I select Forum in this case if user goes to top 5 topics?

    Thx!

    Hi Louis Chan,

    We don't know exactly how the connection between "Top 5 Topics" page and its parent "Forum" is implemented in your case, may be there is some way to find the parent of "Top 5 Topics" when you know that it's clicked. Can you clarify the situation please?
