DropDownField on TabPanel with inactive index on PageLoad does not set the Text.

[huzzy143]

Dear All,

I have a DropDownField in one of the panel in Tabpanel which is inactive when the page loads.
When i go to that tab i cannot see its Text though i have set its Text and Value in CodeBehind on the PageLoad event.

But when i set the ActiveIndex property to activate this tab which contains DropDownField then the Text is shown properly.

Guys can anyone say whats the problem?

Regards,

Hi,

Inactive tabs are not rendered by default. It causes the problem you described.

I can suggest you to set DeferredRender="false" for the TabPanel.
