OK. I wonder if it would make some more sense to have separate
controls for each tab anyway, and just put them directly on each tab.
It might be preferable to be able to control the refresh rate of each
pane individually.

Yeah.

Except we're not proposing to add that functionality to those forms
(in fact, frmEditGrid doesn't even have a tabset). doing so would be a
lot of work, and I think it's only worth the effort perhaps on
frmMain.
