WINDEV and WINDEV Mobile manage the following events by default (in order of appearance in the code editor):

Event	Runtime condition

Initialization	Run when opening the window. * Special case: Browsing Table control filled automatically: When this code is run, the Table control is not filled yet. To force the Table control to be filled in this event, use: TableDisplay. the properties for managing the browsing Table controls: ..BrowsedFile, ..BrowsedItem or ..Filter. You also have the ability to filter the records with HFilter.
Entry (in the column)	Run when the column takes focus.
Exit (from the column)	Run when changing control (TAB key, change of control with the mouse, ...).
Whenever modified	Run when the user modifies the column content.

(*) By default, the "Initializing" event of each control is run according to the order in which the controls were created in the window. To modify this runtime order:

Select "Windows .. Edit the initialization order".On the "Window" pane, in the "Order" group, click "Initialization".
In the window that is displayed, use the arrows on the right to modify the initialization order of controls.

Sort code of a column

When the user clicks the title of a column in a Table control, the sort code of the column is automatically called.

To find out the sort direction, declare a parameter at the beginning of the sort code.

// -- Whenever COL_Column1 is sorted
PROCEDURE Sort(bAscending)
Trace(bAscending? "Ascending column sort" ELSE "Descending sort")
