I wanted to determine which fired first, a window's activate event
or a window's open event. To do this I created a window with one
pushbutton on it (Exit) and placed MsgBox statements in both the
activate and open events for the window. The window's activate
event fires first followed by the window's open event. However,
following the open event, 34 more activate events occur after
which the window freezes. Can anyone explain why the windows
activate event would continue to occur after the window opens, why
precisely 34 more times, and why the window freezes after
completing the activate events?
Activate occurs any time the windows becomes "active"
So, you have a msgbox that comes up, you dismiss the msgbox and then
the window becomes active again. And so on.
Will someone please verify what I've described above? After
deleting the window's activate event MsgBox, I placed a MsgBox
statement in the pushbutton's open event. The pushbutton's open
event fired before the window's open event. It seems to me that
the window should open prior to the pushbutton opening. What
concept, obvious or otherwise, am I missing?
You need to write code that does NOT depend on the event of events as
they can occur in an order that is somewhat unpredictable.
The open event for controls on a window will occur before the Window
Open event
