Actually, Irv, that is what I was trying to convey. We have been talking about only instantiating the objects on the other pages when those pages are clicked or activated.
Part of the drawback is that you can't visually lay out the pages at that point. So, the program becomes faster for the user but slows down the development process.
I guess I'm wondering what others are doing. It sounds as if you and Cathi both work in shops that go ahead and place all the components on the form instead of trying to dynamically add things at run time.
Is anybody building forms as minimally as possible and adding things as needed at runtime? Or is that just overkill for the minimal amount of performance that it gives.
If I remember correctly, Maria Atkins recommends a kind of dynamic approach. Is anyone familiar with how she handles the drawback of not being able to visually desing a form when you build dynamically?
