hi I’m a newbie to Servoy and your forum. I seem to have a problem in so much the onShow event is only fired once per session, not every time the form is displayed. Am I just not understanding it correctly? The basis for my learning and development is the Version 3 CRM system. ---

Hi Manxman, Welcome to the forum! I think, when you are correct, people would have reacted already. I at least can not confirm this. Have you created a little solution yourself going from and to a form (really not showing a form anymore is essential for the onShow event)? ---

Maybe you’re expecting that onShow is also triggered when browsing from record to record? In that case you should use onRecordSelection ---

Hmm, Maarten. I will have to re-evaluate my thought-pattern. You are a much more efficient in your description than I am ![:)]( "Smile") ---

Hi fellas thanks for your attention. I can assure you that is not stepping from rec to rec problem. to test this problem i have put an application.output(‘in onShow abc form’) in the onShow events of various forms - but it only outputs once - not every time the form is made visible. Question: should making a form visible trigger the onShow event? ---

What do you mean with ‘made visible’. Showing a form and triggering the onShow event happens at controller.show() or controller.showRecords()… ---

Hi Marcel Using the V3 Crm systen the central dialog form and its tabs - the whole thing is controlled by making visible and hiding the dialog form. the manual VolII chapter 5 page 69 says quote ‘this method is triggered EVERY TIME the form is displayed’ - for displayed i take to mean ‘made visible’ Are you telling me that this is not true and is only triggered by other specific events? ---

I started to wonder what you do when you said this: > not every time the form is made visible … I don’t have 3.0.1 running right now. Is there anybody that can confirm this?
