Dialog Initialization

When a power edit form is called, runtime initializes these items in this order:

  1. Thread handling

  2. Error handling process

  3. BV columns

  4. Form controls (FC)

  5. Grid fields

  6. Static text

  7. Helps

  8. Event rules (ER) structures

This flowchart illustrates the tasks that runtime performs after initializing these objects to complete dialog initialization, if the form contains a grid control:
