You are not the first one who posted this problem. Pls search the
sourceforge archives for more info next time before posting.
First remark: Rather don't use AutoUpdateAfterCallBack if there is no need
to it. I whished more and more Jason never included it into Anthem. If you
want an anthem control to update itself after you did a callback, then pls
set the UpdateAfterCallBack property to true for each control you want to
have updated after this control.
Second remark: Most of the time there is no need at all to make every singl=
e
control on your page an anthem control. Only if you want to be able to have
them updated after a callback you can make Anthem controls of them or wrap
them inside an Anthem panel.
Then about the tab problem. If you download the latest snapshot of Anthem (
http://anthem-dot-net.sourceforge.net/), then you will see that an Anthem
TextBox has a new property. It's called "AutoCallBack". Set it to false.
It's similar to the anthem dropdownlist's AutoCallBack.
When it's set to true, then the "TextChanged" event will be raised every
time on every single anthem textbox when the text in it changes and looses
focus. Every single time when the TextChanged is called there is a callback
to server, EVEN WHEN YOU DIDN'T SPECIFY AN EVENT HANDLER FOR IT.
When it's set to false, then there won't be a callback to server and all th=
e
controls who have their AutoUpdateAfterCallBack property set to true will b=
e
updated.

Conclusion: download the latest snapshot, don't use anthem controls if you
don't need them to have ajax functionality, and TRY TO AVOID USING
AUTOUPDATEAFTERCALLBACK!

Manu.

ps: I'll try to have a talk with Jason about the AutoUpdateAfterCallBack
property. I think it maybe could be removed?

This is using the latest .NET 1.1 version.
