- All Implemented Interfaces:
    `Serializable`, `Comparable<TabPane.TabClosingPolicy>`
  Enclosing class:
    TabPane

      public static enum TabPane.TabClosingPolicy
      extends Enum<TabPane.TabClosingPolicy>

  This specifies how the TabPane handles tab closing from an end-users perspective. The options are:

  - TabClosingPolicy.UNAVAILABLE: Tabs can not be closed by the user
  - TabClosingPolicy.SELECTED_TAB: Only the currently selected tab will have the option to be closed, with a graphic next to the tab text being shown. The graphic will disappear when a tab is no longer selected.

              System.out.println(c);

      Returns:
        an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared

    - #### valueOf

          public static TabPane.TabClosingPolicy valueOf​(String name)

      Returns the enum constant of this type with the specified name. The string must match exactly an identifier used to declare an enum constant in this type. (Extraneous whitespace characters are not permitted.)
      Parameters:
