>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.

This is not true for VFP5 or VFP6. VFP5 made vast improvments on objects instanciation time, this is maybe where your observed speed gains come from, but all objects are definitely created fromthe beginning.
