How can I get the View Tab name on the Crystal Report Viewer at runtime?

Question

When a report is displayed in the Windows Forms Crystal Report Viewer and the user drills into the report, the drill down view is displayed in a seperate view and is identified via a View tab at the top of the report.  I can determine the index of the view tab that is currently selected, but I need to access the text that is on the View tab.  The only properties that I've found that pertain to the "view" on the Crystal Report viewer are the ActiveViewIndex and the ViewCount.  Unfortunately, neither of these items help me because they are not specific to a certain section of the report.  Has anyone had any luck accessing the View Tab properties ?  Thanks.

The tabs at the top of the page are nested within some of the viewers controls. Through trial and error you just have to find the right one. In this case the main part of the report is in the first control. This happens to be a TabControl. From there you can loop through the TabPages on the TabControl to grab the names of the tabs.
Here is a quick example of what I did to get the tab text. All this code was in a button click event.
Control oControl = crystalReportViewer1.Controls[0];
TabControl oTabControl = (TabControl)oControl.Controls[0];
foreach (TabPage oTabPage in oTabControl.TabPages)
     MessageBox.Show(oTabPage.Text);
