LastSelectableTab Property

Returns the last UltraTab object in the collection whose Visible and Enabled properties are both true.
Syntax
'Declaration
 
Public ReadOnly Property LastSelectableTab As UltraTab
public UltraTab LastSelectableTab {get;}
Remarks
If no tab has its Enabled property set to true then the last tab whose Visible property is true will be returned. If no tab has its Visible property set to true then null is returned.
Example
The following sample code illustrates how to sort tabs through the VisibleTabs collection.
