I tried it but when I click on the icon, it closes the window rather than switching to the next tab. Why do you think so?

The second item of the first tab changes the tab to the second tab. CTabFolder has method "setSelection(index)" where "index" is the index of the tab you want to switch to. "index" is zero based. In this case it switches to the second tab, which has index "1".
