why no getTabBar() in TabLayoutPanel?

[tong123123]

I have a tablayoutpanel, one tab display a grid with many record, user can select one record and then press edit, then it will jump to other tab for edit, I want to disable the first tab when edit, but I found that there is no getTabBar() in tablayoutpanel but has this function in TabPanel!! why the function is removed from TabLayoutPanel?

any suggested method to disable/enable a tab in TabLayoutPanel?

Have you tried providing your own widget instead of text in the tab and make it capable of being disabled?
