Then, please explain the results of the following experiment.

Create a form. Add two TextBoxes. Add the following methods:

* TextBox1.Init():
MessageBox("Init TextBox 1")

* TextBox2.Init():
MessageBox("Init TextBox 2")

Send TextBox1 to back, and run the form. You will see the messages for TextBox #1, and then for TextBox #2.

Now, send TextBox2 to back, and run the form again. Now, you will see the message for TextBox #2 first.

Tested in VFP 6, no service packs.

Any comments?
