Linking url to a dynamically created tab

[jwong]

Hi,

In my webpage, I have a ListGrid with records. Double clicking a record creates a new tab which is used to show detailed information about that record. I use email notifications for the page and I want to be able to put a link in the email that would link to a tab that normally is created by double clicking a record. Is this possible?

Yes, the showCase does exactly this using the html anchor (#) and History support. Take a look at it.

I see what you mean by the showcase doing this but unsure how to accomplish this myself.

The complete source code is available of the showcase so you can check it out and build your own implementation. Download the smartgwt distribution and check out the samples directory.
