This is because you interfere with VB's internal mechanics, that
arranges widgets on pages, you see strange effects as inability to
put anything in page 0. Namely, in tabset.fm, 'extras' field of
'TabbedNotebook' contains zeros as widget page indexes. I think
that following
the native VB interface for page arrangement would help here.

You can put widgets on different pages right away in VB, although,
agree, it is not obvious. Check the pop-up menu of the notebook
widget - prev page, next page, move widget to page must come in
handy. Also, changing pageIndex property from object inspector
flips pages as well.

If you feel pedantic, you can also check an example of
TabbedNotebook in Prima/PS/setup.fm .
