Description
Originally by clivemo
Trying to extend the Tabsheet & VTabsheet by writing an extension is very hard due to inaccessable attributes and package local classes.[[BR]]
In my case I need to add functionality to the TabCaptions and TabBar.[[BR]]
A simple getCaption() method on VTabsheet.Tab would be a nice start.
