OK, the way I did some wizards (tests, actually), is like this:

The pageframe isn't invisible, only the tabs are hidden.

Objects that appear only on one page are within the corresponding page.

Objects shared by more than one page (like the "Next" button) are OUTSIDE the PageFrame. For the user, they are visibly in the page, but to create them, you don't select the page first.

See what I mean?

There is no need to copy objects to and fro.

Of course, you can make objects invisible on specific pages. E.g., hide the "Next" button when you are on the last page.

Met hartelijke groeten, Hilmar.
