• Like so:

  var tabGroup = Ti.UI.currentWindow.tabGroup;
  
  //assuming 1 corresponds to the tab you want to switch to
  tabGroup.setActiveTab(1);
  

• Hmm, I haven't done this in my own code, but you could store the tabs as properties of the tabGroup object, so they become accessible to any window.

  var myTab= Ti.UI.createTab({...});
  tabGroup.myTab = myTab;
  ...in some other file...
  var tabGroup = Ti.UI.currentWindow.tabGroup;
  tabGroup.setActiveTab(tabGroup.myTab);
  

  Maybe there's a better way, though.

• Ok that works. How can I pass the object rather than a number? I'd rather call it by the name. tabGroup.setActiveTab(tabName);
