I believe you can add this container to the FORM and set it's zorder to 0 (Bring to Front) over the pageframe. It then would exist only once but appear on each page.

PUBLIC oform1

oform1=NEWOBJECT("form1")
oform1.Show
RETURN

>I have a container with navigation controls and status indicators that I would like to reuse on multiple pages in a pageframe. For visual consistency, I would like this container to sit within each page vs. exist outside the pageframe.

>Right now I've manually add this container to each page of my pageframe that needs this container's functionality. This doesn't seem too efficient. I'm wondering if there's a better way to implement this? In other words some way to have a single copy of this container "move" between active pages as necessary.
