Initial Event

The initial event is the act of running the application (e.g. double-clicking). It has only one associated event-handler:

PROCDealWith_InitialEvent

Its properties are

  • The initial event-handler is always called
  • It is called only once
  • It is called before any other event-handler is called
Inside the definition of the initial event-handler is where the code for all the application's one-off calculations (e.g. DIMensioning arrays etc.) should be placed.
