Hello In a master-details page, I have added a panel to add the details table rows. The result being a new tab panel with only one tab for my detail table. I am now trying to figure out how to change the default text of the tab name. By the default the name of the underlying table displays in the tab. Please see attache print screen for reference. Any help appreciated, Thanks Attached Images

Hi You would need to locate the tab (FindControlRecursively) and change its title using some code (c# or vb) to match the underlying data. The Master pages don't have code behind for some strange reason so you have to add the code as a script block to the master page in ISD ie Find Tabcontainer Find Required TabPanel in TabContainer Set the title of the Tabpanel HTH __________________ Tim Titchmarsh Iron Speed Consultant MVP London UK based +44 (0)1621 835002 http://www.lightspeeditsolutions.co.uk/dotnetarchitect timt@dotnetarchitect.co.uk timt@lsits.co.uk

Hello If you click on your tab, can you view the properties panel for the tab? If so, you should have a Custom Properties where you can set the tab's text property to whatever you want. Best Regards, Michael __________________ michael@occasiosystems.com http://www.occasiosystems.com

Many thanks for your replies. When I click on the panel control Code: <GENANEL NAME="Cat_style_langPanelHeader"/> (as I can not see any control for the tab itself), I can only see one property in the sheet named ID. So it seems there is a level missing between the panel and the collapsible region to allow modifying the tabs...

Hi You can modify the title in ISD as a static string, thats easy as the tabs will all be there sitting in their container. In ISD simply change the title from the properties. This assumes that of course you have dropped your control on the page, right clicked the cell and chosen the InsertTabs command. Dynamically is alot tougher.

In design mode, in the grid select the "TabPanel" (or "TabPanel1") object. The properties should then show for the Tab. Change the "Title" property. See attached image. Attached Images __________________ C. Bryan Patrick II Iron Speed Designer MVP Consultant Pseudo Consulting

please see above photo if I change the .dht it will only change the text in the gray area where "Edit WWWDR" text is. I need to change the "Customer Information" text in the tabs also I have been able to change the color to gray in all the other areas except for the Customer Information tab. it will not let me leave the property blank like the others. thank you __________________ Lorna
