    Get Specific tab

    Hey Fellow developers

    I've searched and searched, but can't find any solution, to get a specific tab on a Item.

    The reason I want to do this, is to get every single field in this tab, and render every field to the page. If this is possible, then all I need to do, if I want to add some more information to the tah, is to add it to the documenttype, end than it is available, and gets rendered.

    Any solution ?

    Best Regards

    Kristoffer

    Hey kows

    Great link.

    But is there a way to not only get the propertyType.Name on the documenttype, but also the propertyvalue on the current node, based on that documenttype, in a specific tab  ?

    Best Regards

    Kristoffer

    use the alias from each propertytype and get the value combined with Node.GetCurrent() ?

    Hey Kows

    I'm fairly new to Umbraco, but it makes sense what you suggest.

    Something like 

    Node current = Node.GetCurrent();
    DocumentType dt = DocumentType.GetByAlias(current.NodeTypeAlias);
    if(dt != null) {
    foreach (var tab in dt.getVirtualTabs) {
     // The tab I'm searchin for has ID 17
     if (tab.Id == 17)
     {
      foreach (var propertyType in tab.PropertyTypes)
      {
       new LiteralControl
       {
       Text = string.Format("{0}-{1}", propertyType.Name, current.GetProperty(propertyType.Alias))};
       }
      }
     }
    }

    Haven't tried it yet, since I won't have acces to the solution until tomorrow...

    Just to do a follow up. The above works perfect.

    Thank you for pointing me in the right direction
