How to refresh a table upon tab selection

In my current application, I have a table view on the second tab's window and a button in first tab's window that adds a new entry to the array of data the table view reads from.

When the button is clicked and a new entry to the array is successfully added, the table does not reflect the addition because it has already loaded the data (if viewed previously).

How can I refresh the table view when the second tab is selected everytime?

Thanks in advance!

    • Yes that would work, but the table is on a different window. How can I call the setData method from a different window?

    • Nevermind, I found that I could use the 'focus' event on the current window. Thank you!
