Web DynPro - Navigation to Tabstrips

Question

Hi All,
I have a view that has Tabstrips, around 6 tabstribs.
When I am in an Sales Order Tab all the sales orders are listed. I select one sales order and click display details button.
When I do this I need to move automatically to Search Tab and in the search tab the sales order number should be populated and results should be displayed.
I could populate the sales order number and display the results in the Search Tab, but don't know how to navigate automatically to Search Tab from Sales Order Tab.
I don't want to navigate to that tab manually.
Please let me know how to navigate from one Tab to another Tab automatically
Thanks.

Hi,
Where are you setting the SELECT_TAB attribute value.
In the Display Details button of the Salesorder tab, you write the code setting the tab.
Create an action handler ONACTIONSELECT_TAB.
***Variables
  DATA
    lv_select_tab type string.         "Selected tab
  CALL METHOD WD_CONTEXT->SET_ATTRIBUTE
    EXPORTING
      VALUE = lv_select_tab                 "Give tab id for the Search Tab
      NAME  =  'SELECT_TAB'.
using the GET_ATTRIBUTE try to default the value in the SEARCH tab with the Saslesorder number.
and You need to write the code in the action handler also to set the tab.
method ONACTIONSELECT_TAB .
***Variables
DATA:
  lv_select_tab type string,          "Selected tab value
   lv_name type string.               "Name of the event.
***Structure and internal table for the Events
DATA:
  lt_events type WDR_EVENT_PARAMETER_LIST,
  ls_events type WDR_EVENT_PARAMETER.
***Field symbols
field-symbols: <fs_value> type any.   "Attribute value in events table
***Move the event name ie 'ON_SELECT' is the standard event
lv_name = wdevent->name.
***Move the event table to lt_events
lt_events = wdevent->parameters.
*"Set to 'TAB' in lt_events
read table  lt_events into ls_events with key name = 'TAB'.       
if sy-subrc eq 0.
assign ls_events-value->* to <fs_value>.
if sy-subrc eq 0.
lv_select_tab = <fs_value>.
endif.                 "IF sy-subrc eq 0.
endif.                 "IF sy-subrc eq 0.
***Set the selected tab value
CALL METHOD WD_CONTEXT->SET_ATTRIBUTE
  EXPORTING
    VALUE  =  lv_select_tab
    NAME   = 'SELECT_TAB'.  "Set the selected tab Id
endmethod.
The above code is working fine for me. Please test it as per your requirements.
