How to switch through tabs programmatically in JavaFX

Question

Only one tab is visible at a time. The user selects the one using mouse/keyboard. Suppose, there are three tabs on TabPane and there is a button on first. When user press the button, I want the second tab to be opened. Then there must be some code to switch to second Tab that in bound to the button.
