Description

Ti.UI.Tab.window and setWindow are not respected. Uncaught TypeError: Object [object TiUITab] has no method 'setWindow' This is not a regression. This works on iOS and Android. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Run code:

var mainTabGroup = Ti.UI.createTabGroup();

var mainTab1 = Ti.UI.createTab({
	backgroundColor : 'green'
});

var mainWin1 = Ti.UI.createWindow({
	backgroundColor : 'yellow'
});

mainTab1.window = mainWin1; // ignored
// mainTab1.setWindow(mainWin1); // runtime error

mainTabGroup.addTab(mainTab1);

var mainTab2 = Ti.UI.createTab({
	backgroundColor : 'red'
});

var mainWin2 = Ti.UI.createWindow({
	backgroundColor : 'blue'
});

// mainTab2.window = mainWin2; // ignored
mainTab2.setWindow(mainWin2); // runtime error

mainTabGroup.addTab(mainTab2);

mainTabGroup.open();

Actual Result: window property is ignored or setWindow method generates runtime error Expected Result: A tab group should open with colored tabs and colored windows.

Note: windows do work at tab initialization. Here is sample work-around code:

   var mainTabGroup = Ti.UI.createTabGroup();
   
   var mainWin1 = Ti.UI.createWindow({
   	backgroundColor : 'yellow'
   });
   
   var mainTab1 = Ti.UI.createTab({
   	backgroundColor : 'green',
   	window : mainWin1
   });
   
   mainTabGroup.addTab(mainTab1);
   
   var mainWin2 = Ti.UI.createWindow({
   	backgroundColor : 'blue'
   });
   
   var mainTab2 = Ti.UI.createTab({
   	backgroundColor : 'red',
   	window : mainWin2
   });
   
   mainTabGroup.addTab(mainTab2);
   
   mainTabGroup.open();

This problem still exists, and now using alloy, I can not set the contents of the Window, unless its in my XML markup, I'm pretty sure this problem still exists. eg, I can not set the window property of the tab to a [TiUIWindow] object - which works on both iOS and Android, in some instances I have to use the tab.setWindow method (which results in an error on Mobile Web)
