Well, my initial assumption was that people would use
the tabbed folder for setting parameters, thus
passive query at the time of switching is more
typical than actively handling the
settings. Looks like my assumptions is wrong (what
else is new ?), well, maybe not totally wrong. In any
case, means will be provided to "turn on" the normal
processing of object returns in the next release.
In the meantime, fl_set_form_callback(form, 0)
can be used after adding the form to the tabfolder
to enable object leakage thru fl_do_forms().
(all forms added to the tabfolder gets a dummy
form callback that eats all the objects that have
no callbacks).
