Hi Terry,
Try the bait and switch
I use a pageframe with no tabs at all. When it init's, it creates a separate pageframe class that is nothing but tabs directly above the non-tabbed pf. When I toggle a custom SetVisible() property of the tab-less PF it adds/removes from my tabs-only pf. When a tab is clicked it activates it's associated page in the non-tabbed pageframe.
Happy coding...
