Newbie question: how to use rich:tabpanel and rich:tab to control e.g. radio button

[rexn]

Hi,

I'm new to richfaces and learning how to use this framework by reading "Practical Richfaces". Now, I have tried out one example on page 102 that radio buttons can control tabs on a tab panel. But I just could not make an inverse control with them. So I think my question could be like how to use tabs to rerender other components when tabs change from one to another. For example, how can I show the name of which tab I'm viewing at the right top of the page?

Here is my test code:

<ui:define name="body">

        <h:form>

            <rich:tabPanel style="width: 100%;" switchType="ajax" selectedTab="#{tabMenuBean.selectedTab}">

                <f:facet name="header">

                    <h:outputText value="MainTabPanel" />

                </f:facet>

                <rich:tab id="inboxTab" label="Inbox" reRender="displayTabOutputText"></rich:tab>

                <rich:tab id="accountTab" label="Account"></rich:tab>

            </rich:tabPanel>

        </h:form>

    </ui:define>

To display the tab name:

<rich:toolBarGroup id="rightToolBarGroup" location="right">

       <h:outputText id="selectedTabName" value="#{tabMenuBean.selectedTab}"/>

        <s:link id="menuLogoutId" view="/login.html" action="#{identity.logout}" value="Logout" propagation="none"/>

    </rich:toolBarGroup>

As I'm using seam, that "tabMenuBean" is a seam component.

Any help is appreciated.

Hi,

It seems working. I probably misused reRender before.. Anyway, solved.
