Event fire clarification...

[Jay]

Stepping through code and discoverd that an event declared for a 3rd
party datagrid (Infragistics UltraWinGrid) in InitializeComponent()
fires twice: 1 for setting its grid.dataSource, and a second time on
its grid.dataBind().

Is that correct that this happens?

What I'm investigating is a problem our QA guy is running into with
his script/tester (QTP?) and he's trying to script checking a checkbox
on that datagrid. But in certain areas his script tool bombs and in
others it doesn't. I'm almost wondering if maybe the fact that the
second call is somehow confusing the script to think it has a new
identity and "get's lost"?

In the event fire, code runs to declare a Layout and a
ColumnsCollection a second time and maybe that is the cause of the
"lost identity"? Perhaps I should look for an "IsAlreadyInitialized"
property of that grid so to conditionally step over it and see what
results that brings? Unless on dataSource and dataBind() it is
supposed to do that always?

Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

THANKS.

Jay,

That's really up to the authors of the grid, Infragistics. You should
contact their support people with this, as it's not a component distributed
with .NET.

You might want to specify to them which event it is that is firing
twice, btw.

Thanks sorry. I found their forums and posted the question there. They
are stating it is not necessary to call bind. Wierd.

Regardless. I think the REAL problem is with QTP and finding the
control. I don't think he's doing it right.

Sorry to bother...

Thanks again.
