How to get title of current tab

Question

How would one get the name of the active tab / JPanel within a JTabbedPane in order to compare it to a string? It is a simple question but I cannot find a solution to this.

Answer 1

With getSelextedIndex you get the index of the active tab and with getTitleAt you get the title of that index:

JTabbedPane tabbedPane ...
int selectedIndex = tabbedPane.getSelectedIndex();
tabbedPane.getTitleAt(selectedIndex);
