Prevent tab from load

Vote:
 

When a plugin is made to the edit-area in EPiServer the usercontrol is loaded everytime a user goes to edit the page. Is there any way to prevent the tabs usercontrol to load until the actual tab is clicked?

The plugin/usercontrol I got in one of the tabs does a lot of data searching and it would be great if the control isn't loaded until needed...

This could be useful for pagetypes that have many xhtml-editors as well. The loadtime for editing a page gets frustrating long if there are 20+ editors. (I know - there might not be a good idea to have so many editors in the first place, but a delayed load of tabs could be useful anyhow)

There is a querystring in the page named "SelectedEditPanelTab". Perhaps it could be used somehow?

Isnt that only for specifying the tab that should be selected on load?

This would have to be done in the plugins themselves, for example by moving all heavy databinding to the PreRender event insetad of doing it in Init().

To alter the behavior of the standard tabs, like [Edit], it would require some hacking which would be Unsupported and Not Recommended and would possibly break when future releases are applied.

Placing databinding in prerender or not, still the plugin is loaded with heavy data...

When you click a tab a post back occurs and the page is rendered again.

If your user control is visible (=tab selected), PreRender will be called otherwise not.

So, if you tweak you code a little so it does not do anything in Init, Load and other events that is alwaysed called it should not cost so much in performance...
