VFP Form Event Sequence

 -When A Form Getting Loaded:
  1. DataEnvironmet.openTables()
  2. DataEnvironmet.beforeOpenTables()
  3. Form.load()
  4. [cursurs].Init()  - for each cursor in DataEnvironment
  5. DataEnvironment.init()
  6. [controls].init() -  for all controls in a form
  7. Form.init()
  8. Form.show()
  9. Form.activate()
  10. Form.refresh()
  11. [object1].when()  – for the first object in tab order
  12. [object1].gotFocus()  – for the first object in tab order

But In MSDN There Is A Slight Difference:
  1. Form.init()
  2. Form.activate()
  3. [object1].when()  – for the first object in tab order
  4. Form.gotFocus()
  5. [object1].gotFocus()
  6. [object1].message()

-If We Leave An Object And The Next Object Gets The Focus:

Whenever An Object Gets The Focus The Sequence Of The Events Is As Below:
  1. [object(i)].when()
  2. [object(i)].gotFocus()
  3. [object(i)].message()

And Whenever An Object Loses The Focus The Sequence Would Be:
  1. [object(j)].valid()
  2. [object(j)].lostFocus()

-If We Move To The Next Text Box From Currently Focused Text Box And Type Something In The Next Text Box:
  1. Text(i).keyPress()
  2. Text(i).valid
  3. Text(i).lostFocus
  4. Text(i+1).when()
  5. Text(i+1).gotFocus()

-When We Type In A Text Box:
  1. Text(i).keyPress()
  2. Text(i).interactiveChange()

-When We Leave A Form By Calling Realease() Method (Closing The Form):
  1. Form.queryUnload()
  2. Form.destroy()
  3. Form.[command buttons].destroy()
  4. Form.[objects].destroy()
  5. Form.unload()
  6. DataEnvironment.afterCloseTables()
  7. DataEnvironment.destroy()

-When We A Form Loses Focus (Like When Another Form Get The Focused):
  1. Form.lostFocus()
  2. Form.deactivate()
