Every control (object) that you add to your layout will most likely have its own Open event handler, so you put initialisation code that is specific to that object, in its Open event handler.
By default, an “App” object is added to the Navigation view of each Desktop project.
Right-click on the “App” object, choose “Add to…” & “Event Handler” and select the “Open” Event.
The App.Open Event is basically executed as soon as your application starts up, before any windows or controls appear. See Application for more information on the “App” object.
Thanks Barton. This just further helps me to better understand the overall ‘layout’ of a program in Xojo. Right now, that’s probably the biggest difference that I’m seeing between Xojo and PowerBASIC. And I think I need to look over more of the example applications that I can find online, to better help me to grasp this.
