Marcus,
It is certainly NOT true for VFP5. I did a quick test in VFP6 and seemed to get the same results as in 3 and 5. Hope someone else will confirm this.

>In VFP3 I used a container class that allowed me to delay instantiation for controls within a pages of a page frame. This allowed the pageframe to pop up very quickly, by not building the controls for a page until that page's activate event was fired off. Now I hear that as of VFP 5 or 6, this behavior is automatic. Can someone confirm this for me? I did a test and noticed that all the INITs fired for every control on every page, but I don't know if that means the control is actually instantiated or not. There doesn't seem to be much of a speed difference when using a container class anymore, but I'm not sure if my machine is just faster than the last time I evaluated. TIA.
