keep indicators over all tabs

Hello,

 

I was wondering if there is a way to keep indicators on several tabs without duplicating them?  For example, I have a 5 tab control and there's certain things I want displayed on all 5 (but I need to keep them inside each tab... I don't want to pull them out of the tab control).... but I don't want to re-create these indicators for each tab... is there a way they could maybe hover over my tabs so they're not locked into any tab and can be seen over all the tabs?  I know this sometimes happens to me by accident when working with tabs, where the same indicator is hovering over all my tabs, but I don't know how to make it happen....

 

thanks!

Easy.

 

Drag it off the tab control.

 

Then select it and use your arrow keys to move it OVER but not into the tab.

 

Sure there will be a funny shadow around in development mode but that goes away when you run it.
