Most objects can be setup before calling FrmDrawForm(). You just
have to carefully read the documentation to find out which functions are
allowed and how to use them.
You can enable and disable controls, move controls, set field values,
set/unset checkboxes, change label text, set form title, etc. etc. etc.
Doing this before the draw is a faster and visually more pleasing UI.
I'd think drawing twice would be pretty ugly!
