Hi John, yer its the same case in Delphi.
I normally have a flag initialised:boolean and then in the formactivate do
if (not initialised) then begin
initialised:=true;
do your stuff.
end;
so you know its only occurring once.
Matt.

Subject: [DUG] Delphi internals - form events
Form create versus activate.
If I understand correctly, program initialisation best goes into the
create
event. I have worked out that the onactivate event for a main form fires
every time any second form closes and focus returns to the main form. Is
there any limitation about what can be put in the create event, I am
wondering because before Delphi I did some FoxPro and there was some
things
to do with eg visual properties of components that could not be put in the
Create event as they didn't really exist yet....such things as (I think)
button1.visible:=false. Does Delphi have this kind of limitation or
anything you cannot do when the form is created but before it is shown?
Any
general hints of what to put in each event would be appreciated.
Thanks
John B
