[RBASE-L] - RE: EEP timing, Before start vs After Start vs Close vs Resize??

Thanks Emmitt!

Is there any way to use those EEPS to prevent all my objects from blinking when ever I use a RECALC to refresh/repaint a single Variable Image object? Is there any way to rediplay a single Variable Image Object?

On Before Start executes before the form is generated.  So if your form is based upon a temporary table, you could create that temporary table and populate it in the before start.

 

On After Start executes after the form is generated.  Use this to set up variables, invoke setup routines, etc.  I often embed my on after start code in  a custom form action named “forminit” so I can use that to repaint a “virgin” form on demand, and use the On After Start eep to call the custom form action.

 

The other two are just what they imply – on close will execute when the user closes the form, and on resize will execute if the user resizes the form.

I have read what I can find about Form EEPS, but I can't seem to find the specific differneces between the various EEPS that apply to the entire form. Can someone point me in the right direction regarding the uses and differences between .....

 

On Before Start EEP

       vs

On After Start EEP

       vs

On Close EEP

       vs

On Resize EEP

 

I can imagine that a Before Start EEP runs before the EEP runs. But when would an After Start EEP run? and what is a Resize EEP?

 

TIA!
