load visual force tab when selected

Is It possible to only have an Apex method called only when the tab it is under is selected? The code is displaying a query under each tab and I am trying to avoid a Apex CPU Limit reached.

You can do it only if the tab is custom visualforce tab 
  1. Create a vf page tab 
  2. Load the apex method using any partial page load techniques like partial load , render etc ..

hey Raj, by custom visual force tab do you mean i cant use <apex:tab>?
Raj VakatiRaj Vakati
my bad .. i understand question wrong 

You can do it like below 


<apex:tab label="AppConfig" name="AppConfig" id="AppConfig" onclick="onClickAppConfig()" />

<apex:actionFunction action="{!apexMethod}" name="onClickAppConfig" rerender="myTab"> <!-- add any parameters if you want --> </apex:actionFunction>

  
public class Controller_name{

   public void apexMethod(){
    //logic
   }
}
