Reusing a LabFrame across multiple notebook tabs.

Well, I have a number of tabs in the main window and each tab should
contain the labframe below. It seems obvious to me that I should only
have to write the code once and reuse it, but I have not been able to
figure it out. As it stands now, I have to add the LabFrame to tab1,
tab2, tab3 and so on.

Who has got the better way?

thanks,

ben

The obvious question is "Why do you want the labframe inside the
notebook in the first place?" Why not simply have it all by itself above
or below the notebook since it will always be visible anyway?

You are correct. I realized that was the solution this w

end.
However, the reason I went down that path in the first place is
because I hadn't figured out how to start the tab lower in the main
window or have them end sooner. I can't seem to manipulate notebook
tab locations, so I'm adding them to a frame and manipulating that.

thanks,

ben
