Hi,
We have created a tab window, i.e. a page frame with a lot of controls on each page.
Unfortunately, using the page frame is extremely slow. Even on a fast computer it may take second(s) before the controls respond on mouse clicks and character input.
Doing some experiments, it turned out that the number of controls on the active page as well as the number of pages (i.e. total number of controls I guess) affected the speed.
I can understand that having a lot of controls on the active page makes it slower, but I don't understand why having more pages in the page frame makes user interaction so much slower. Don't the inactive pages get excluded from the event processing?
Does anyone know of a method for making the page frame faster? Maybe one could embed the controls in a container within a page and explicitely show/hide this container when the page get (in-)activated!?

Thank you
- Peder
