Dialog Initialization

When a parent/child browse form is called, runtime initializes these items in this order:

  1. Thread handling

  2. Error handling process

  3. Business view columns (BCs)

  4. Form controls (FCs)

  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:

Parent/Child browse dialog initialization.

Data selection and sequencing occurs at the control level and ultimately leads to the population of the parent/child control, provided runtime encounters no errors.
