Imports Infragistics.Win

Private Sub ultraTabbedMdiManager1_StoreTab(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As Infragistics.Win.UltraWinTabbedMdi.StoreTabEventArgs) Handles ultraTabbedMdiManager1.StoreTab
    ' The 'StoreTab' event is invoked when the SaveAsXml or 
    ' SaveAsBinary method is invoked. It is a convenient place 
    ' to initialize the 'PersistedInfo' property of the tabs 
    ' immediately prior to serialization and is invoked once for 
    ' each MdiTab in the TabGroups and in the HiddenTabs. This 
    ' will prevent the need to keep updating the PersistedInfo 
    ' at other points when the information needed to deserialize 
    ' the tab changes - e.g. when the file name of the associated 
    ' form changes.

    If TypeOf e.Tab.Form Is EditForm Then
        e.Tab.PersistedInfo = (CType(e.Tab.Form, EditForm)).FileName
