Example[edit]
The following code displays the tabIndex number for each tab followed by the name of the tab.
for i = 1, GetNumTalentTabs() do
local _, name = GetTalentTabInfo(i)
DEFAULT_CHAT_FRAME:AddMessage( i .. ' ' .. name .. ' ' )
end
Using this with an 85 Unholy Death Knight...
for i = 1, GetNumTalentTabs() do
local id, name, description, iconTexture, pointsSpent, background, previewPointsSpent, isUnlocked = GetTalentTabInfo( 1, Partycheck, false, i )
local id, name, description, iconTexture, pointsSpent, background, previewPointsSpent, isUnlocked = GetTalentTabInfo( 2, Partycheck, false, i )
end
Gives the results...

Notes[edit]
- Passing a true value for isPet should only work if the player is a hunter and has a pet active.
- In order for this function to return any useful information one of the following must occur:
- You're using it to get information regarding your player's current spec. In which case, you will not be passing the second argument. The client already knows everything it needs to know about you, so you don't need to inspect yourself.
- You're currently inspecting the unit and pass true as the second argument. In other words, the inspect frame is open and you have a target.
- You're calling NotifyInspect(unit), are waiting for INSPECT_READY to fire, and are passing true as the second argument. After the event fires, the client will have the information you desire.
