I have a Gui I created through AHK. It has a tab control in it.

When I click a button, I want the subroutine to be able to bring a certain tab to the front, thereby making it active.

How can I do that programatically?

By reading The Manual

GuiControl, Choose, ControlID, N: Sets the selection in a ListBox, DropDownList, ComboBox, or Tab control to be the Nth entry. N should be 1 for the first entry, 2 for the second, etc (if N is not an integer, the ChooseString method described below will be used instead). Unlike Control Choose, this sub-command will not trigger any g-label associated with the control unless N is preceded by a pipe character (even then, the g-label is triggered only when the new selection is different than the old one, at least for Tab controls). For example: GuiControl, Choose, MyListBox, |3.

To additionally cause a finishing event to occur (a double-click in the case of ListBox), include two leading pipes instead of one (this is not supported for Tab controls).

The manual is where I go first. I spent a lot of time scanning the Tab section, because that's where I thought it would be. I also thought I looked through GuiControl, because I've used that before. I must have missed it. Thanks.

If you don't specify a variable for the Tab control then you should use its ClassNN instead:

gui, add, button, gdo
; gui, add, tab, vmytab, tab1|tab2|| ; use variable 
gui, add, tab,, tab1|tab2||
gui show
return

do:
; guicontrol, choose, mytab, 1 ; uses the control's associated variable
guicontrol, choose, systabcontrol321, 1 ; uses the control classNN  
return

GuiControl , Choose, Tab, §2

don't work's for me.
but that is ok:

GuiControl , Choose, systabcontrol321, 2

it's very Good
