Maybe I don't understand what these routines are for, but, I cannot get them to fire - at all.
My intention is to use the Detail_Paint routine to do a little custom formatting, but this routine is called over and over again.
So, I want to find a way to trap if/when the form is *first* rendered, and then only run this custom formatting that first time around.
So, I've tried setting a Boolean to False when the form is loaded, and then setting that Boolean to True once the form is 'rendered'. But again, I cannot get these routines to fire, so I can't control the custom formatting code (which gets VERY confused, btw, when you start mousing-over and clicking in the form. Ha.)
How/when do these render events fire? I cannot get them to fire.
