TabbingStyle provides some control over how hidden tabs are shown when they are clicked.
When "Static", all tabs are rendered. When the user clicks a hidden tab, the tab's contents are already at the browser and the selected tab is displayed.
When "Ajax", tabs that are initially hidden are not built and processed by the server until the user clicks on them. When the user clicks a hidden tab, an AJAX request is sent to the server to get the tab's contents. This can help reduce the time to render a Tabs element when there are many TabPanels, especially if those tabs contain DataLayers. Once a TabPanel has been rendered, if it is then hidden by the user then re-selected, the panel is simply redisplayed without again going back to the server.
When "RefreshPage", tabs that are initially hidden are not built and processed by the server until the user clicks on them. When the user clicks a hidden tab, the page is re-submitted, this time showing the hidden tab with refreshed contents. This can help reduce the time to render a Tabs element when there are many TabPanels, especially if those tabs contain DataLayers.
The default is "Static". |
