This example demonstrates how to use the setActive method between windows. By clicking the SetActive button in the left window, the method sets the Second Button as the active object in the right window, although the object does not receive focus. The object receives focus when its page receives focus. To confirm that the object is active, click the right window’s title bar. The button appears to be selected.
