From the comments: One solution is to add an automatic slot in your main window class that executes when the button is clicked. In this slot have it change the current index of the QTabWidget.
For example the following should cycle throw the tabs every time you click the button:
void MainWindow::on_pushButton_clicked()
{
if (ui->tabWidget->count() > 1) {
ui->tabWidget->setCurrentIndex( (ui->tabWidget->currentIndex()+1) % ui->tabWidget->count() );
}
}
