Are there Form Load events in Mongoose?

In .NET, there is a "Form Load Event" that occurs when when a form starts loading. During this time, you can set up and initialize variables, set initial states of components, etc.

Is there such a thing in Mongoose? I can see some Event Handler information in the help, but I don't see where I might find where to define and script a handler triggered by the initiation of the Form itself.

Thanks you all in advance.

Regards,

John Keegan

This may help.

There is StdFormPredisplay and StdFormInitCompeted. I recommend looking in the help to see details on when and how these events are fired.

StdFormPredisplay is the common one Infor uses to setup the form before it displays.

Thank you for your replies!

How would I access the Event Handlers of the Form?

In design mode, in the properties of each component on the form, I can see that there is an "Events" tab on the Component Properties view panel, but I don't see where to access Event Handlers for the Form itself.

In Design Mode under Edit there should be Events. These are the events inside the Form (not the AES).

For full details check the help docs for the framework

Navigate to this section --> Developing Mongoose Forms and Applications/Reference/Events

StdObjectSelectCurrentCompleted is very useful as it fires after the current row is loaded (on form initialisation) and each time the user navigates to a new row. It only fires once the properties for the new row are updated to the form so is a good hook to use if you want to fire custom code to disable a button, or calculate a variable.

This video shows how to use the diagnostics feature to see when a event is fired, and in what sequence

In this case it is limited to a different set of events but you can alter the diagnostic filters to choose the events you want to see.
