Tab Label

Hello,

I can't figure out how to get/read label of a tab (stb strip). Does anyone know how to read it.

Thanks

Normally, when you create a tab strip, then you have an array of strings, where you create it from. Just keep that array around, then you can from the tab nr. get the title of the tab strip. So there is no internal function to do so.

In situations where this is not possible (where you cannot modify the code, that creates the tab strip) you can hook the tab creation function, store the titles and introduce a function to return the title for you. We had a similar post for returning the title of a listview column. See here for a solution:

.. where "keep around" means declare the string array in the top context. Sometimes that's not realistic, forcing a more complicated solution.
