If you subclass the pageframe, in the subclass you may try to add an assign method to the ActivePage property, and there

*-- 
lparameter vNewVal
if vartype(vNEwVal)="C"
   for i=1 to this.pagecount
      if upper(this.pages[i].name)=upper(vNewVal)
         vNewVal=i
         exit
      endif
   endfor
endif
this.activepage=vNewVal

Looking at what Çetin proposed, here's a better one:

if vartype(vNEwVal)="C"
   oPage=this.getpem(vNewVal)
   vNewVal=oPage.pageorder
endif
this.activepage=vNewVal

Error checking etc left as an exercise ;).
