Attributes

Remarks

Sets the current tab.

This method is used to bring a tab to the front of the Widget, and is used to post to the rest of the UI that a different tab has been brought to the foreground.

Note, this is separate from the traditional "focus" that is employed from the view logic.

For instance, if we have a list in a tabbed view, a user may be navigating up and down the list, moving the UI focus (orange highlighting) through the list items. The cursor movement does not effect the "selected" tab though, because what is being scrolled through is all on the same tab. The selected tab only changes when we navigate between tabs (moving from the list view to the next tabbed view, in this example).

To move both the focus AND the selected tab at once, please use #focusCurrentTab. Normally, the view logic takes care of adjusting the focus, so unless you're circumventing the UI, you'll probably just focus your interest here.
