.. long post clipped .. I agree with what John's comments. > One way to get an idea of how/when events are triggered is to place a > display statement in the event, run the application and watch for your > statement. We have now resorted to writing it to a file because we found that both the display statement and messagebox affects the event queue when the application uses modal popups. i.e. events happen in a different sequence. We look at the file using codewright and fortunately, cw automatically refreshes the file when you alt-tab to it. These debugging lines are toggled on/off using an accelerator key while running the application. They are left in the code and we wrote a parser to strip them out based on an environment variable when we compile. David W Chan GO5 Ltd dwc@cix.compulink.co.uk
