Tab control in Silverlight 3.0 and Dirty data - silverlight

We are using tab control in our project. While using this control i came across a few issues like
- When the tab control loads, it invokes constructor of all the xaml pages that form the individual tabs. Can this be avoided?
Is there any event with tab control that we can use to identify dirty data on the previous tab that i may have visited. I mean can i prevent user from navigating to some other tab before saving the changes on current tab.

You should be able to avoid the instantiation of each xaml page in the individual tabs by adding the content to the tabs dynamically, right before they are shown for the first time. You might be able to get away with doing this on the tab control's SelectionChanged event.
The tab control does not have a dirty state management. At best, you individual containers/pages will have to handle the dirty state.

I mean can i prevent user
from navigating to some other tab
before saving the changes on current
tab.
I don't think you can prevent it. We have something similar in our app and the route we have chosen is if the page is validated then the Tabs becomes enabled so they can either click save or navigate to a different tab. In case they navigate to a different tab without clicking on save we will perform save for them. I think as a user perspective this is a good thing!

md-on-select called on every md-tab during destroy

We are using angular-material's md-tabs to display information to the user.
Up until now we used an on-demand approach by adding
ng-click=vm.getForExampleDataForTab1(),
ng-click=vm.getForExampleDataForTab2()
and so on for each md-tab. But this solution has a problem that the first tab is displayed with no data because it doesn't get clicked by the user. So we switched to md-on-select instead. And that did the trick, the first tab was getting data and all was fine. Apparently. We then discovered in Chrome's Dev tools that when moving to another page in the app, all the other tabs that were not selected (the user didn't click on them to view the data) were called.
Did anyone encounter such a behaviour? It only happens when we used md-on-select, not ng-click on the tabs.
Thanks a lot,

Best practice to handle extjs refresh page

I wrote an ExtJS application like this:
the sub menu is dynamic added by clicking the button on the left.
The question is :
as the sub panel is created dynamically, so if I refresh the whole page, the panel will go away.
What I expected is it could still display the same content before refresh pages.
So, my question is how to handle this in ExtJS?
Do I need to record the current panel information into Ext.App?
ExtJS is a framework to build Web Applications that run inside the browser.
With Web Applications, just like normal applications, you don't close the program and start it anew (like a browser refresh does) just because someone wants to switch to a different toolbar or look at different data. You work with multiple panels, switch between them, and/or open windows.
You could for instance generate multiple panels inside a container with card layout, and bring to front the panel that you want to show right now.
If you have a license that allows you to use Sencha Architect, there is a nice "navigation" sample available in Architect from where you can start and look at how it's done.

Dynamically "Delete" Icon hide show in in kendo scheduler

I have create new event in kendo scheduler.There is some problems in my scheduler.I want to show delete button only authorize person who is created this event.And I want to hide delete button who is not created this event,Only show event scheduler and hide icon.
I am so tired but not solved this problems please help
I think that you need to create different types of users and give them different perks. For example, the person who created that event will be an administrator. You have to create some function where the administrator will have the create and the destroy properties as true. To other users, you'll set those properties false. As for the hiding or not buttons, I suggest you to make your own custom edit form template. This was just a general idea but I hope you get the bigger picture.
updated answer:
Not only I think you should implement the CRUD operations manually but also customize the Scheduler behavior. Just like you can wire edit event and hide the save button if an user is not authorized or just like you can wire a save event and control wheather you allow or not event modifications, the same can be made with a delete event. Anyway, from what I understood, I think that using a custom editor template to control the state of any components should be enough. Basically, define a custom template and allow/disable/hide/show some widgets depending on the user that is logged in. The credentials can be loaded and used directly in the template. Check this dojo, it might be useful.

WPF Navigating From one page to another inside a window

I am trying to write a WPF application. The general outline of the application is as follows: There is a main window(Note that the main window is a full screen application) and there are several pages(Possibly 25) and I want to navigate from one page to another with a button click event on each page. What will be the best way to achieve this?
I have tried creating a Frame on the MainWindow and then use the frame to display pages, but my problem is that I can not navigate from one page to another from a button click on the pages. I am new to this and I would appreciate any help.
You could of at least tried a Google mate, this information is abundant, but because you thought typing a paragraph here was easier, I shall save you the trouble.... http://paulstovell.com/blog/wpf-navigation

In Silverlight, How can I disable Back and Forward navigation using browser buttons?

I'm using the Navigational Framework in Silverlight 4. I'm starting to believe that this was a mistake as the browser buttons are really screwing things up for users. For instance, when a child window is opened the user believes they can close the window by pressing the back button. It doesn't close the window obviously, it just navigates the parent page back a step. The end result is a messed up data set. I'm fed up with the little control I have over the navigation of my application; forward and back buttons are anachronistic. Web applications don't work that way anymore. Please someone tell me how I can disable their functionality; that is, cancel navigation when it is started from one of these buttons.
Remove this code from your html page which holds your silverlight XAP:
<iframe id="_sl_historyFrame" style="visibility:hidden;height:0px;width:0px;border:0px"></iframe>
This is the history frame.
You will likely have to do this in the actual web/asp.net page, as Silverlight has no real control over the browser.
