StartTabId will work with any level setting, however, the level setting does determine what nodes will display. 

Level settings of parent and child do not specify that sibling nodes will be displayed, the others do.  So if you use a rootonly="true" level="parent" starttabid="123" it should produce the desired output.

My module should work with DNN 3.x, though I have not specifically tested it with 3.2

StartTabId is ignored if I try that. Setting RootOnly seems to override the StartTabId so that the combination above can not work. Could we change the code to only set StartTabId to -1 if not set as a property? Better idea?

    If blnRootOnly Then
     blnUseArrows = False
     Me.PopulateNodesFromClient = False
     Me.StartTabId = -1
     Me.ExpandDepth = 1
    End If

Thanks again for your time Jon.

It is not a matter of defaulting starttabid a certain way.  It is passed as whatever value you set it to the underlying framework.  It is a matter of what nodes the underlying framework is told to show (i.e. include siblings or not). 

The example I provided does work... I am not sure why you are saying it doesn't....  Are you specifying a real tabid?

Hello Jon,

Is there a way to populate the StartTabID dynamically? 

I have tried doing<dnn:nav id="leftNav" StartTabID="<%=PortalSettings.ActiveTab.BreadCrumbs(0).TabID %> ..... But it doesn't execute the statement but tries to apply it to the StartTabID.

I have also tried getting the property in the Page_Load and the Page_Init but it is not available then.

Wow, this thread is from 2005

Your first attempt does not work since the dnn:nav control is a server side control.  Those types of replacements (<%=) are for client side markup.  You should be able to get/set the property in the PreRender event.
