OnClientTabSelecting

The OnClientTabSelecting client-side event occurs when the user selects a tab, before the tab is selected.

The event handler receives two parameters:

1. The instance of the tab strip firing the event.

2. An eventArgs parameter containing the following methods:

• get_tab returns a reference to the RadTab that is about to be selected.

• set_cancel lets you stop the selection by passing true to the set_cancel method.

• get_domEvent returns a reference to the DOM object for the event that caused the selection.

You can use this event to pre-process a tab's selection or to cancel the default response:

<script>
function OnClientTabSelecting(sender, eventArgs)
{
var tab = eventArgs.get_tab();
var navigateUrl = tab.get_navigateUrl();
if (navigateUrl && navigateUrl != "#")
{
   var proceed = confirm("Navigate to "+ navigateUrl + " ?");
   if (!proceed)
   {
      eventArgs.set_cancel(true);
   }
   else
   {
      eventArgs.set_cancel(false);
   }
 }
}
</script>
