WebApplication.EnableMultipleBrowserTabsSupport Property

Specifies whether or not support for multiple browser tabs is enabled.

Namespace: DevExpress.ExpressApp.Web

Assembly: DevExpress.ExpressApp.Web.v24.2.dll

NuGet Package: DevExpress.ExpressApp.Web

Declaration

C#

public static bool EnableMultipleBrowserTabsSupport { get; set; }

VB.NET

Public Shared Property EnableMultipleBrowserTabsSupport As Boolean

Property Value

Type	Description
Boolean	true, if support for multiple browser tabs is enabled; otherwise, false.

Remarks

When the EnableMultipleBrowserTabsSupport is set to true, each loaded web window has a unique identifier within the ASP.NET Web Forms session. Use these window identifiers to ensure all requests are correctly routed on the server side. Additionally, navigation items are rendered as hyperlinks (with the “open link in new tab” option). Hyperlinks are generated only for navigation items corresponding to ChoiceActionItem objects whose ChoiceActionItem.Data property holds a ViewShortcut object pointing to a particular View to be opened. When a navigation item is processed without supplying a View shortcut is applied (for example, using the ShowNavigationItemController.CustomShowNavigationItem event), no hyperlink is generated for this item.

Since v20.2, the default EnableMultipleBrowserTabsSupport property value is true because the Solution Wizard generates new projects with the FrameworkSettings.DefaultSettingsCompatibilityMode property set to Latest.

Alternatively, to change the value of the property manually, add the following code to the WebApplication.cs (WebApplication.vb) file:

C#

public partial class MySolutionAspNetApplication : WebApplication {
    //...
    static MySolutionAspNetApplication() {
        WebApplication.EnableMultipleBrowserTabsSupport = true;
        // ...
    }
}

VB.NET

Partial Public Class MySolutionAspNetApplication
    Inherits WebApplication
    '...
    Shared Sub New()
        WebApplication.EnableMultipleBrowserTabsSupport = True
        ' ...
    End Sub
End Class
