Change Active Tab of TabView

[robert.m]

Is there a way to change the active tab of a TabView using a Button (p:commandButton or h:commandButton) from outside the TabView? What I'm trying to implement is a panel in the top-right corner with some Buttons to control a few elements of the page. And one of them would be to change the TabView to a specific tab.

I tried using a p:commandButton which set an integer value in a backing bean to a specific value. the button contained the id of the tabview in it's "update" property. The TabView hat the activeIndex-attribute set to "#{backingBean.index}. But this didn't work out.

Is there any other way to accomplish that?
