Response

This method is asynchronous, so it returns its response in an object in a callback method. The response object contains the following field:

Name	Type	Description
success	boolean	`true` if setting the tab’s text style was successful, `false` if setting the tab’s text style wasn’t successful.

If this method is called without passing in a tab ID, the tab in which the Visualforce page is enclosed is used. If there isn’t an enclosing tab, the error message Cannot get a workspace or view tab from the given ID displays in the browser’s developer console.
