Dynamic tabstrip and multipage

[Elad Frid]

Hi

You are right but I'm creating dynamic controls on each multi page
and if I add the "If Not Page.IsPostBack Then" line I will not be able
to find and access the dynamic controls I have created on the multi
page

Here is a new code example:

Private Sub Demo1()
Dim NewTab As Microsoft.Web.UI.WebControls.Tab
Dim NewSeparator As Microsoft.Web.UI.WebControls.TabSeparator

' If Not Page.IsPostBack Then
' Create Tabs
NewTab = New Microsoft.Web.UI.WebControls.Tab()
NewTab.Text = "new tab1"
tsKR.Items.Add(NewTab)

NewSeparator = New
Microsoft.Web.UI.WebControls.TabSeparator()
tsKR.Items.Add(NewSeparator)

NewTab = New Microsoft.Web.UI.WebControls.Tab()
NewTab.Text = "new tab2"
tsKR.Items.Add(NewTab)

' Create pages view
Dim NewPageView1 As New PageView()
NewPageView1.ID = "PageView1"
mpKR.Controls.Add(NewPageView1)

Dim NewPageView2 As New PageView()
NewPageView2.ID = "PageView2"
mpKR.Controls.Add(NewPageView2)
' End If

Dim TextBox9 As New TextBox()
TextBox9.ID = "9"
TextBox9.Style("Top") = "60px"
TextBox9.Style("Left") = "100px"
FindControl("PageView1").Controls.Add(TextBox9)

Dim dropdownlist1 As New DropDownList()
dropdownlist1.ID = "6"
dropdownlist1.Style("Top") = "60px"
dropdownlist1.Style("Left") = "100px"
dropdownlist1.Items.Add("1")
dropdownlist1.Items.Add("2")
dropdownlist1.AutoPostBack = True
FindControl("PageView2").Controls.Add(dropdownlist 1)
End Sub

The tab strip keeps track of the tabs in ViewState (via the Items collection I guess); the PageView controls do not; so you either have to split your code in two (add the the tabs when !IsPostback and then add the PageViews each time); or you have to turn off the ViewState for the TabStrip (and if that can't be done then clear the tab strip each time -- you'll probably have to keep track of the active tab when doing things this way).

The way I do this is kinda like this:

protected override void CreateChildControls()
{
FormTabs = new TabStrip();
if (!IsPostBack)
{
foreach (tab-want-to-create)
{
Tab t = new Tab();
FormTabs.Items.Add(t);
}
}

FormPages = new MultiPage();
foreach (page--want-to-create)
{
FormPage.Controls.Add(new PageView());
}
Controls.Add(FormPages);
FormTabs.TargetId = ID of FormPages;
Controls.Add(FormTabs);
}
