How to do multi-pane dialogs in IB?

Hi,

We're trying to update old code so we can use Interface Builder but there's one big problem: we have many dialogs which have dynamic content in that they consist of multiple pages (like the System Preferences window). Using Constructor it's trivial to create one resource for each page and assemble them together at runtime. It seems to be impossible to do this with IB. We can't create one jumbo layout because the number of pages varies - they can be loaded from plugins for example. The only way I can think of is to create one window for each page, load it in, re-embed all the controls into the parent dialog and then throw away the window. The problem with this is that the docs say that controls can't be embedded from one window to another in OS 9, which we still need to support. Is there any way to do this with IB, or do we have to stick with Constructor?

Thanks,

Jerry
