For each method starting with get, you can omit the get prefix and the ending parentheses () to call the property counterpart. For example, tabResultObj.label is equivalent to tabResultObj.getLabel(). Similarly, for each method starting with is, omit the is prefix and the ending parentheses (). For example, tabResultObj.isCustom is equivalent to tabResultObj.custom. ## DescribeTabResult Methods The following are methods for DescribeTabResult.
