History of FME_INIT

== Description ==

:The FME_INIT event is triggered before the FM dialog is displayed.

:To activate this event you need to use "(Dialog)?: (initevent)?".

:You can use the previous value to check if the plug-in is executed for the first

:time in the host. In that case (previous)?==false.

== Remarks: ==

:1) Using the instruction setDialogEvent(1) allows also to enable the FME_INIT event.

:However, it isn't recommended to use that by default, as it won't work for the very first launch of the plug-in.

<code>

</code>

:2) For your convenience, this event is also triggered each time you recompile the code of your plug-in.

== Example ==

<code>

%ffp

Dialog: initevent

OnCtl(n): {

if (e==FME_INIT) {

if (!previous) Info("plug-in launched for first time");

else Info("plug-in just launched or recompiled");

}

return false;
