[SOLVED] Trigger tabShow event on a tab

Questions
1

Hi,

app.tab.show() does nothing when the tab is active and visible, i have a handle on tabShow that generate tab content and i need to trigger tabShow event on a tab when it is needed. couldn’t find any workaround !

Regards.

If tab is already active, it won’t fire this event. Why not just call that handle that you have directly?

You can trigger it manually like:

var $tabToTrigger = $('.some-tab-to-trigger');
$tabToTrigger.trigger('tab:show');
app.emit('tabShow', $tabToTrigger[0]);

Unfortunately it is not working!
i tried both:
app.emit(‘tabShow’,$("#tab-element-id").get(0)); // not working
$("#tab-element-id").trigger(‘tab:show’); // not working too

i use jquery not the Dom7!

Then i guess you have some different layout, impossible to say without seeing whole picture. But i will highly recommend to go with this:

I changed the code and now calling the handler.
