Difference from fireTabChanged

This method is different from the fireTabChanged(org.mdi.bootstrap.FileProperties) method because another selected tab will be set after removing a tab. For example, if you have two tabs:

• FileProperties prop1
• Currently selected tab: FileProperties prop2

and you remove the second tab:

• You will receive a fireTabRemoved with prop2
• You will receive a fireUpdateSelectedTab with prop1, because prop1 becomes the currently selected tab

If you have ony one tab:

• Currently selected tab: FileProperties prop1

and you remove the tab:

• You will receive a fireTabRemoved with prop1
• You will receive a fireUpdateSelectedTab with null, because there is no more selected tab

Parameters:

prop - the FileProperties which is under the selected tab
