How do I dynamically create TabPanels in codebehind?

I have tried creating TabPanels dynamically in Page_Init but they aren't showing up even though I do see them when doing View Source on the resulting page. When I add them statically with the designer, they do show up. I am using 10618 version of the toolkit.

Here is a code snippet:

protected void Page_Init(object sender, EventArgs e){ AjaxControlToolkit.TabPanel tp =new AjaxControlToolkit.TabPanel(); tp.ID ="DynamicTab1"; tp.HeaderText ="DynamicTab1" Label tabContents =new Label(); tabContents.Text = tp.HeaderText; tp.Controls.Add(tabContents); ExistingTabContainer.Tabs.Add(tp);}

Hi,

I'd do this dynamic tab panel creation this way (it also works in the Page_Load event handler):

protected override void OnInit(EventArgs e){base.OnInit(e);// Create the tab panel's content container Control tabContent =new Control(); TabPanel tab =new TabPanel(); tab.ID ="tabPanel1"; tab.HeaderText ="Dynamic Panel"; Label label =new Label(); label.Text ="This is a dynamic tab panel"; tabContent.Controls.Add(label); tab.Controls.Add(tabContent);this.tabContainer1.Tabs.Add(tab);}

This pice of code works for me perfect. The tabContainer1 control is of type AjaxControlToolkit.TabContainer and is declared on the page this way:

<ajaxcc:TabContainer ID="tabContainer1" runat="server"></ajaxcc:TabContainer>

Kind regards,

sbogus, I got it to work using your sample code. I really appreciate your help.

Cheers!
