Tab Reorder – Disabling activating tab

[bfrenchParticipant]

Hello,

Is there anyway I can disable making a tab active after it has been dragged? Ideally, I would like to be able to reorder tabs, but keep the whatever the current active tab is as the active tab.

Thanks

Hi bfrench,

Unfortunately it is still not possible. We would implement this feature in one of our next versions. If you have any further questions do not hesitate to contact us.

Thanks for the response Mariya.

Do you think there would be any way I could hook into any of the events to prevent a tab from being selected on this event? I see from the API doc for the ‘selecting’ event I can set the event to cancel to true. Do the other events allow for this? From my tests it looks like ‘selecting’ only fires during the tabclick chain of event handlers – tabclick -> unselecting -> selecting -> selected.

If I can’t cancel the event chain, what I might end up doing for the time being is to have a set of empty div elements that jqxTabs can manage, but then have my actual content divs in another set. Then on the jqxTabs tabclick event I could show/hide my div elements.
