"Leave tab" event for tabs in TabStrip UI

[former_member525904]

Hi

I want to check that some input fields are valid and force users do not change Tab in TabStrip (until enter valid values for required fields) but I do not know is it possible this in Webdynpro? Does anybody know which is this event and may I use it in my WD Application?

In TabStrip there is action for OnSelect event but this is event when user enters in Tab. I need event when user exits the tab.

I would suggest using a RoadMap UI element here. A TabStrip should never be used for visualizing a sequence of operations.

"Newer" Web Dynpro versions also have a PhaseIndicator UI element that provides somewhat more functionality.

In BSP the tabStrip has a value "selection" which if you read the tabStrip to see the tab they selected you can store that value.

Then check if the fields are filled in if so then pass the stored value back to the "selection" parameter and if not give the name of the tab they were currently on back to the "selection" parameter.
