Hello,

I am using Delphi 4. I have created a resource-intensive form with
lots of controls on many tabs. It is so big that some machines run
out of memory and crash when using it.

Is there a way to create forms using Borland's drag-and-drop IDE,
yet not "instantiate" any controls on a tab until that tab is
activated? Likewise, discard the controls when selecting a new tab.

Any short coding examples, please? Thanks.
