MapInfo Pro Developers User Group

I'm looking at the multi-page layouts in Layout Designer. I want to add frames, vertically below the first page using Create Frame.
This does position the frame below the paper, but no new page is added.
Is there any undocumented page clause for Create Frame?

The only support I have found to be added for multi-page layout designer in the Mapbasic user guide here -
Set Layout Window FrontWindow( ) Page 1

But the old way of setting multiple pages seems to be deprecated (I have no idea why the compiler still allows deprecated parameters...) -
Set Layout Extents (3, 2)

So, in summary, the 2 things I'm after is -
1. Add a new page to the layout (the green + button on the UI)
2. Insert a frame into a specific page in a layout Window.

Hi Joshua

You are looking for these statements:

Adding a new page to the Layout (Designer) window
Add Designer Page [ Window layout_win ]

Change the Layout (Designer) to a specific page
Set Layout [ Window window_id ] Page page_number

Now you can insert your frame on the current page.
