RestoreTabOrder Method

Restores the visible tab order to the order in the Tabs collection.
Syntax
'Declaration
 
Public Sub RestoreTabOrder() 
public void RestoreTabOrder()
Example
The following sample code illustrates how to save, load and restore the visible tab order. This is useful when the AllowTabMoving property is true which allows the user to drag tabs around. These methods can then be used to persist the customized tab order between sessions.
