How to disable specific dijit contentPane tabs created by html?

Question

I am using Dojo tabContainer & contentPane. I want a tab which cannot be opened by clicking on it. Is this possible? Please help me.

Answer 1

Apparently this is not currently possible to do though the tabContainer implementation (see here) but you could try some of the things suggested here

A suggested workaround from the enchancement page is :

wildbill noticed that in _TabButton.html, there is a connection that is not set up properly. The onclick:onClick part of the outermost dojoAttachEvent should actually be onclick:_onClick

So. With that fix in place, you can disable a tab using the original piece of code above. i.e. find the tab button by iterating over the registry and filtering it out. i.e.

var b;

dijit.registry.byClass("dijit.layout._TabButton").forEach(function(x) {if (x.label=="your tab button's label") b = x;});

//now disable it...
b.setAttribute('disabled', true);
