[Gambas-devel] Error in gb.form.mdi

[David Villalobos Cambronero]

Well, when this event is raised, I execute a procedure, it makes a lot of querys in the database, and the procedure is executed     
twice, and I want to avoid that, but if it is correct I will place a Flag, or something like that to avoid the second run.

Regards


David

The documentation is not accurate. 'Activate' is raised when a child window is 
activated. But it is raised too when the window is already the current 
window. 

The aim of this event was the same as the top-level window 'Activate' event. 
So it should not be raised when the child window is already "activated", i.e. 
when one f its children already has the focus. I should detect that specific 
case, but I didn't the time to do it.

What's the problem with having more "Activate" events than needed?
