Form Helper gmode formShow and formRender

[mramos]

Not sure if this is a bug but I have a form helper pgm that is supposed to be fired off anytime it is 'shown'.

so far I can only get it to perform if I use gMode = 'formRender' when initially launching my app. Obviously it does nothing if I hide then show the form, hence the need for it to run anytime it is shown (gMode = 'formShow'). When I try to use it with 'formShow' nothing happens, not even when the app is launched for the first time and the form widget is shown or hidden then shown.

Am I misunderstanding how form helpers are supposed to be run?


Thanks

You have to set the form to call your helper program on show. I just tested this on the latest public 6.3 build, and it works as expected. Since you're getting formRender, I have to assume you haven't checked the show checkbox on your form.
