SelectedTabChange

The server-side SelectedTabChange event occurs when non-selected tab is clicked, causing a postback.

The event handler function receives two arguments:

  1. The RadRibbonBar which has fired the event. This argument is of type object, but can be cast to the RadRibbonBar type.

  2. An EventArgs object has the following properties:

    • Tab - the currently selected tab.

    • PreviouslySelectedTab - the previously selected tab.

The following example demonstrates how to use the SelectedTabChange event to determine the new and the previously selected tab.


protected void RadRibbonBar1_SelectedTabChange(object sender, RibbonBarSelectedTabChangeEventArgs e)
{
    string message = string.Format("Tab {0} was selected.", e.Tab.Text);
    string details = string.Format("Previosly selected tab was: {0}", e.PreviouslySelectedTab.Text);

    textBox1.Text = string.Format("{0} {1}", message, details);
}


Protected Sub RadRibbonBar1_SelectedTabChange(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As RibbonBarSelectedTabChangeEventArgs)
    Dim message As String = String.Format("Tab {0} was selected.", e.Tab.Text)
    Dim details As String = String.Format("Previosly selected tab was: {0}", e.PreviouslySelectedTab.Text)

    textBox1.Text = String.Format("{0} {1}", message, details)
End Sub
