>>When a page Activates/Deactivates, the UIEnable event fires with a parameter telling which was done. I use it all the time and I have it a particular base class of an object I put on every page. You could build the addition of this object to the pages in the PageFrame.Init().

Fred is right. I forgot about my own class Page Tab Chameleon that works on UIEnable event and which I posted here in UT Downloads section in 1996 :) You may check the code in file#9211
