Associate controls with a tab page - design time

Maybe this is a simple thing, but I haven’t been able to figure it out yet.

Wisej-3.1.5

VS 2022 Professional

Working on a POC using Wisej (just started using it less than a month ago). Pretty cool so far.

I created a tab control and added 5 pages to it.

Initially, when I was creating the page, I was dropping the controls that went into each page – and they got associated with that tab page – so far so good.

Now I wanted to re-arrange some of these fields (text boxes, buttons, combo boxes etc.) to be associated with the form itself (so they show on all tabs) OR in some cases associate a control with more than 1 page (editable in 1 page and read-only in another for ex.) instead of creating multiple controls that show the same data.

I haven’t been able to find out how I can do this during design time (i.e. associate a field with multiple tab pages OR move it from page1 to page2). I can see that I can do this by writing code to dynamically associate each field to a tabPage (for ex. this.tabPage1.Controls.Add(this.buttonBlahblah), but wanted to see if this can be done at design time.

Pretty sure I am missing something basic here.
