When a form is first opened, how do I hide it until it is in a desired
location?
Forms normally open in the center of the screen. I have an On After
Start EEP that uses PROPERTY RBASE_FORM LEFT 'nnn' and PROPERTY
RBASE_FORM TOP 'nnn' to locate the form elsewhere. The form briefly
appears in the center of the screen and then locates to the assigned
position.
What I want to do is have the equivalent of Hide-On-Startup for the
form, position it and then issue a PROPERTY RBASE_FORM VISIBLE 'TRUE'.
I tried PROPERTY RBASE_FORM VISIBLE 'FALSE' as the first line in the
On-After-Start EEP but it was too late - the form was already visible.
PROPERTY RBASE_FORM VISIBLE 'FALSE' didn't work in the On Before Start
EEP cuz you can't hide something that isn't there yet :)
I played around with Gravitation on New Form Behavior but couldn't get
what I wanted.
BTW, the PROPERTY LEFT and TOP are in a RUN SELECT that is called in the
form's On After Start EEP; I run that in all my forms to set Captions,
some hints and generic form stuff.
Ideas?
TIA,
Doug
