Hi,

I am using tabstrip and it does not remember last opened tab whenever post back happens. Is there a cookie or something so that it can remember the last tab?
Thanks.

Hi,

If everything happens within one page it should always remember it. If you redirect it to different pages (for example, placing the TabStrip inside a master page and switching between different content pages), then there are a number of options. You can set the TabStrip's SaveStateCrossPages or set the TabStrip's AutoSelectSource/AutoSelectTarget:

http://doc.essentialobjects.com/library/1/eo.web.basenavigator.autoselectsource.aspx
http://doc.essentialobjects.com/library/1/eo.web.basenavigator.autoselecttarget.aspx

SaveStateCrossPages helps you to "save" state, while AutoSelectSource and AutoSelectTarget takes a different approach. It does not save any state, but rather try to automatically select an item based on certain values (usually the current page Url). You do not need to use both at the same time.

Thanks!

I have my page that has tabstrip and it opens a popup window (modal). Once popup window is closed, it refreshes the parent page. I want the last tab access to be opened when there is page refresh. For this which method should I use?

Hi,

We actually do not advice on implementations for a specific scenario of our user. We can explain how to use a specific feature and what they are for. But we can not decide which one to use for you (or even there is any for you at all), nor we analyze your particular scenario and devise a solution for you. You will need to analyze the situation yourself and draw similarity between your situation and the features to decide which one to use, or whether they will work for you at all.

Thanks!
