Hello, 

we don't have a ready sample. But possibly the following information will help.

If both grid are on the same page (you don't use iframe-based loading mode for tabbar), there is no any special approach - just use objects of intialized grids.

But if you use iframes loading mode, you must take iframes into consederation. In this case you can use the following approach inside the iframe of the 2nd tab:

var tabbar = parent.tabbar; /*tabbar object*/

var grid1 = tabbar.tabWindow(tab1_id).grid1; /*grid object*/
