>>> You cannot have your cake and eat it too. If you want every object in existance when the form shows you have to wait for them to be created. If your form can be divided into pages of a pageframe, then you can use delayed instantiation by only populating the visible page on form load and populating the others as they are first brought into view.

Leave objects from the first page. Go to the second page, select all objects and choose save as class. This would be a container based class, which you can add at run-time once the page is activated. You would have to reference your objects like pageframe1.page2.contMyClass1.object1, e.g. it would be one more layer...
