How to make the form tab strip to work?

Hello,
Can someone help me with this?

I have vertical tab strip, multipage, using page views and I need them to display the page view when I click on them.

What I have right now is, they enable themselves as long as the submit button is clicked but if I want to go back to a previews radstrip, the tab is clickable but it does not display the page view, or the form. What attributes shouls I use.
see the cs bellow:

protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
 
    {
 
        RadTabStrip1.Tabs[0].Enabled = true;
 
        RadTabStrip1.Tabs[1].Enabled = false;
 
        RadTabStrip1.Tabs[2].Enabled = false;
 
        RadTabStrip1.Tabs[3].Enabled = false;
 
        RadTabStrip1.Tabs[4].Enabled = false;
 
        PageView1.Focus();
 
          
 
    }
 
    protected void Button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
 
    {
 
        RadTabStrip1.Tabs[0].Enabled = true;
 
        RadTabStrip1.Tabs[1].Enabled = true;
 
        RadMultiPage1.SelectedIndex = 1;
 
        RadTabStrip1.SelectedIndex = 1;
 
        PageView2.Focus();
 
    }
 
    protected void Button3_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
 
    {
 
        RadTabStrip1.Tabs[0].Enabled = true;
 
        RadTabStrip1.Tabs[1].Enabled = true;
 
        RadTabStrip1.Tabs[2].Enabled = true;
 
        RadMultiPage1.SelectedIndex = 2;
 
        RadTabStrip1.SelectedIndex = 2;
 
        PageView3.Focus();
 
    }
 
 
 
    protected void Button5_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
 
    {
 
        RadTabStrip1.Tabs[0].Enabled = true;
 
        RadTabStrip1.Tabs[1].Enabled = true;
 
        RadTabStrip1.Tabs[2].Enabled = true;
 
        RadTabStrip1.Tabs[3].Enabled = true;
 
        RadMultiPage1.SelectedIndex = 3;
 
        RadTabStrip1.SelectedIndex = 3;
 
        PageView4.Focus();
 
    }
 
    protected void Button7_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
 
    {
 
        RadTabStrip1.Tabs[0].Enabled = true;
 
        RadTabStrip1.Tabs[1].Enabled = true;
 
        RadTabStrip1.Tabs[2].Enabled = true;
 
        RadTabStrip1.Tabs[3].Enabled = true;
 
        RadTabStrip1.Tabs[4].Enabled = true;
 
        RadTabStrip1.Tabs[4].PageView.Enabled = PageView4;
 
        PageView4.Focus();
 
   
 
    }

in PageLoad

add a check for postback

if ( !PostBack)
{
RadTabStrip1.Tabs[0].Enabled = true;

RadTabStrip1.Tabs[1].Enabled = false;

RadTabStrip1.Tabs[2].Enabled = false;

RadTabStrip1.Tabs[3].Enabled = false;

RadTabStrip1.Tabs[4].Enabled = false;

PageView1.Focus();

}
}

Otherwise you keep getting the same look

hello there,

What I need is to enabled the page view that comes with clicking the tab strip, not the tab strip itself.
any idea?

thanks

Romacali

ASKER

Right Now, I have the strip tabs and I'm able to see the forms only if I click on the button next... once I clicked on the other tabs the form doesn't change.. it keeps on the last one..
please I need some help..
thanks,
Caliu

Can you try this code?

protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
     {
        if (!Page.IsPostBack){ 
        RadTabStrip1.Tabs[0].Enabled = true;
 
        RadTabStrip1.Tabs[1].Enabled = false;
 
        RadTabStrip1.Tabs[2].Enabled = false;
 
        RadTabStrip1.Tabs[3].Enabled = false;
 
        RadTabStrip1.Tabs[4].Enabled = false;
        
        PageView1.Focus();
        }
    }

You need to add lastView to your class it should be the same type as PageView
I'm not sure what type PageView is.

Should be like this ...

            RadTabStrip1.Tabs[4].Enabled = false;
 
            lastView = PageView1;
        }
 
        lastView.Focus ();
     }

I tried and I got this:

Compiler Error Message: CS0246: The type or namespace name 'PageView' could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)

Source Error:

Line 12: public partial class evaluation : System.Web.UI.Page
Line 13: {
Line 14: public PageView lastView; // It should be type PageView
Line 15:

pointing to: Line 14: public PageView lastView; // It should be type PageView

williamcampbell

Yeah I don't know what a PageView you need to change it.

What is it?

williamcampbell

Its a control of some type

I have a form, that has on the left side tabs - each tab brings a form on the right hand side, but it is not working I click on the tabs and it doesn't let me see the form..
the only thing that works is when I click submit it goes to the nest form view (page view)

thanks for helping me!! I'm loosing my mind

williamcampbell

Can you see all the forms at once? Is Pageview a Form?

Form lastView instead of PageView lastView

Form.Focus wont work you need to hide all the forms and show the one that needs to be active

Pageview1.Hide ();
Pageview2.Hide ();
Pageview3.Hide ();
Pageview4.Hide ();
Pageview5.Hide ();

lastView.Show ();

ASKER

I still cannot make it works..
here is what I'm trying to do:
http://demos.telerik.com/aspnet-ajax/tabstrip/examples/functionality/vertical/defaultcs.aspx

The problem is once I click on the pages the form doesn't change.

any idea?

Romacali

ASKER

one more thing:
Compiler Error Message: CS0117: 'ASP.pptradstrip_aspx' does not contain a definition for 'RadTabStrip1_TabClick'

Where can I make a definition for 'RadTabStrip1_TabClick' ?

williamcampbell

Woooohoo ..Looks good Roma :)
