You can define the button control functions to reset all the switches;
at least I don't see how it can be done simpler:
{Button["All", sub1 = sub2 = True],
Button["None", sub1 = sub2 = False]}
Checkbox /@ {Dynamic@ sub1, Dynamic@ sub2}
I think what happens with the checkbox inside the tab is that a mouse
click is intercepted by the tab and there's no way to pass it down to
the checkbox. You can have the checkbox argument update in sync with
the TabView control though:
TabView[{Checkbox[Dynamic[x == 1]] -> 1,
Checkbox[Dynamic[x == 2]] -> 2}, Dynamic[x]]
