Malcolm, Thanks for your response and clarification.
To be more precise: "we have problems setting default values for some dynamic fields". What is going on here is that we want to set default values on some fields, these fields has the characteristic of being created dynamically in the onInit method (i was cautious to use page.addControl in each of theses controls, in order to be recognized has such by ClickServlet). We set default values on these fields, but this default values were overwritten by the onProcess method besides this is not a form submission. is that the expected behavior ?, if onProcess allways overrides default values, where are these useful ?

The onInit() method is used primarily for post construction operations, and is provided for your use. Click doesn't do anything special in this phase. Most of the action happens in the onProcess() phase. For example a Form control will determine whether it is being targeted in a request, and if so it will process all its child controls. All the form fields will then have their onProcess() method called. Fields generally implement a pattern in their onProcess() method where they perform data binding, validation and dispatch an event to any listeners. After the onProcess phase has been completed, the ClickServlet will fire event's to any registered listeners, for example an Submit control "onClick" listener. You can think of these as closures, and in fact were inspired by Delphi's function pointers. regards Malcolm Edgar On Mon, Oct 25, 2010 at 11:11 AM, Tomás P.

Until i understood the SetValue executed in onInit must be honored, moreover if there is no submission in course. I'm using click 2.2. Regards, Tomás Tapia Silva - Software Engineer
