The first level child will dispatch the "show" and "hide" events when you expect. If you want the action to happen the first time the view is shown, you need to also invoke it in creationComplete.

I'd like to refresh certain widgets on each page every time the page appears, but the activate event only fires when the whole application gets the focus back from the operating system, and that event doesn't fire when switching pages in the viewstack. I haven't found any other events that might pertain to this situation. FWIW, each child of the viewstack is a separate component, and I use an Accordion full of labeled HBox'es to switch the viewstack pages via: click="viewstack.selectedIndex=accordion.selectedIndex" I could manually call something on the click event, but I was hoping for something more event-driven/implicit.
