Ajax Tab Container selected tab

I have a vb.net/asp.net 2005 app using an ajax tab container with tabs inside it.

I want the user to be able to click on a button as one way to get to the next tab. How do i display the next tab when the user clicks on a button.

Also, can I disable tabs where the user has not filled in information yet for the tab? IE: the user needs to fill in details on each tab page and the details are needed in sequence.

thanks.

Hi!

On the first one, you could put your TabContainer inside an UpdatePanel, set your button as a trigger and on the ButtonClick event set the TabContainer.ActiveTabIndex.

On the second one, you could use the same approach, using some kind of validation, catching the OnTextChangedEvent, so when you find that the user had filled up all the necessary information, you could enable a new TabPanel.
There are a couple of catchs here: Clicking on a TabPanel doesn't fire a post back to the server and I think that disabling a TabPanel won't just make it inactive, it will make it invisible. I'm not sure on the later, just give it a try.

Cherrs,
