Pete,

> a pagerefresher class, it's basically a line class that he adds to all pages through the init method of a pageframe, you could set your properties in the uienable event of the line class ( visible = .f. ) which fires when your page is activated/deactivated

LPARAMETERS lEnable

if ( lEnable )
   * cause the page to refresh
   local llLockScreen
   llLockScreen = thisform.LockScreen
   thisform.LockScreen = .t.
   this.parent.FontBold = .t.
   this.parent.Refresh()
   thisform.LockScreen = llLockScreen
else
   this.parent.FontBold = .f.
endif

This slight mod to the PageRefresher.UIEnable does exactly that.
