I am using the "target" attribute in some of my links
(within a TreeView control and within a separate
DataGrid control) to open up links in an IFRAME in my
Multipage/Tabstrip Controls.

I have two Multipage/Tabstrips set up. One I call
"grid", and it has four tabs, "List" (this is a
DataGrid), "Search", "Select" and "Help". The other I
call "main", which is used for main displays of
details and other stuff, and has tabs for "New
Record", "Details" (for data entry), and "View" (to
view an associated image of the document, if any).

Now, from the Treeview I set up to the "List" Tab (the
DataGrid) is no problem. I target the "grid_list"
IFRAME Tab window, and it works, simply because the
first Tab is "List".

However, the default Tab on the "main"
MultiPage/TabStrip is "New Record". The "Details" Tab
is the second of the four tabs. When I target the
"main_details" IFRAME window in the Details Tab (from
a HyperlinkColumn in the DataGrid), it will load the
details, but won't automatically show the Details Tab
(since it is the second Tab and is "hidden"). I have
to click on the "Details" Tab in order to see the
change.

I don't want to simply make "Details" the first tab,
which is easy enough, because I anticipate many other
"events" loading information into specific Tabs, and I
am giving only one example.

Is there any event that I can script that will make
the appropriate Tab show when a user does click on a
link that is supposed to target a specific IFRAME
window in a specific Tab? Or are there any examples
out there that I have overlooked?

As always, thanks for any advice.

You can choose with tab is selected doing something like this:

Mytab.SelectedIndex = 2;

This would select the third tab(0 index). You could do something
through the querystring like this:

Mytabpage.aspx?tab=2

void Page_Load(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
    int iIndex =
Convert.ToInt32(HttpContext.Current.QueryString["tab"]);
    if(iIndex == "")
    {
    iIndex = 0; //if blank set to zero
    }
    Mytab.SelectedIndex = iIndex;
}

Does this help?

Thanks to James for helping to figure this out for me.
For anyone interested in this type of event, the
following code works (assuming the id for the TabStrip
control is "tsHoriz"):

int iIndex =
Convert.ToInt32(HttpContext.Current.Request.QueryString["tab"];
void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    if(!Page.IsPostBack)
    {
    tsHoriz.SelectedIndex = iIndex;
    }
}

Reference the page thus:

Mypage.aspx?tab=1

where "tab=1" is the 0-index tab you want to show.

Now, I have two tab controls on the same page. This
code would appear to also work (assuming tab control 1
is "tsHoriz" and tab control 2 is "tsHoriz2"):

int iIndex =
Convert.ToInt32(HttpContext.Current.Request.QueryString["tab"];
int iIndex2 =
Convert.ToInt32(HttpContext.Current.Request.QueryString["tab2"];
void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    if(!Page.IsPostBack)
    {
    tsHoriz.SelectedIndex = iIndex;
    tsHoriz2.SelectedIndex = iIndex2;
    }
}

Reference the page thus:

Mypage.aspx?tab=1&tab2=2 (or variations thereof)

NOW, here is my problem: 'tsHoriz2.SelectedIndex =
iIndex2;' would give me an error stating that I am
missing an assembly reference. When I viewed the
source of the rendered page, I realized that the
control was WITHIN another control. Specifically, I
am using the PAL Drop Down Panel control. This second
tab control is within the PAL control.

The view source for 'tsHoriz' in the <input> tag gave
it the name '_tsHoriz_State_'. The view source for
'tsHoriz2' in the <input> tag gave it the name
'_ddpanel1_ctl1_tsHoriz2_State_'.

I tried ddpanel1.tsHoriz2.SelectedIndex = iIndex2;',
but I got the error "CS0117:
'PAL.WebControls.DropDownPanel' does not contain a
definition for 'tsHoriz2'". This makes sense, and so
I tried a lot of variations using the <input> tag
information. All to no avail.

Am I doing the impossible? Or is there a way around
this? My only alternative is to not use the PAL
control.

Thanks!

handle onindexchanged or check if index is changed in page_load and
response.redirect from there.
