HI Shriram,
           Let me explain my problem . I have two tabs in my tab strip control and each tab has its own message area , but the problem is when 2nd tab is selected and if i raise some exception is doesnt show in the message area of the 2nd tab as it is taking the first tab message area as default , so i had put the following logic in the modifyview.
   <b>if(selectedTab.equals("Tab1"))
             IWDMessageArea Tab2MsgArea =(IWDMessageArea) view.getElement("Tab1MessageArea");
             Tab2MsgArea.setEnabled(false);
             IWDMessageArea Tab1MsgArea =(IWDMessageArea) view.getElement("Tab1MessageArea");
             Tab1MsgArea .setEnabled(true);          
        else
            IWDMessageArea Tab2MsgArea =(IWDMessageArea) view.getElement("Tab1MessageArea");
             Tab2MsgArea.setEnabled(true);
             IWDMessageArea Tab1MsgArea =(IWDMessageArea) view.getElement("Tab1MessageArea");
             Tab1MsgArea .setEnabled(false);
        }</b>
   This logic is working fine for most of the cases , but When i selcect a TAB, in the event handler of the selection, i am performing some logic and raising exceptions, for these exceptions it is not working fine as my event handler is fired first before the "WDModifyView" . Is there any other way to control the "ENABLE" property of the MessageAreas.
