I put TabStrip in a master page to perform hyperlinks to different content pages - all using the same master page. Each of the Tabs is selectable and properties can be changed. How?

How do I address TabStrip1 in the content pages' code behind.
Obviously there should be some declaration associated with the control in the master page.
But can't figure what for this particular situation!
Can anyone help? Think

Hi Stephen,

Usually you should avoid messing up with the master page from inside your content page, but if you have to, this article explained one of the ways to do it:

The key is "Master.FindControl".

Thanks

Figured it out from your help:
Quite simple really-
Following code is on content page

Dim menuTabStrip As EO.Web.TabStrip
menuTabStrip = CType(Master.FindControl("TabStrip1"), EO.Web.TabStrip)
menuTabStrip.SelectedIndex = 1 or 2 or 3 . . . . . for each of the pages in turn.

but the TabStrip is on the master page.
As each of the pages is called - in turn each page sets the selected item.
Background colour, text, url etc could also be manipulated.
