It displays behind them but if I switch to a page without those controls, its on top. I tried to reorder the OCX controls (zorder(1)) but that doesn't help. (I hadn't yet frozen the ability to move from page to page when the container is up).

From my experience, ActiveX controls (at least TreeView and others I used) don't react to ZOrder method, and always stay on top. Somebody here suggested to issue SYS(2333, 0) in Form.Load to fix ActiveX behaviour (and then SYS(2333, 1) but for me it didn't fix this problem. I think you can try to make it another form.
