init method of the target form is called before the onclicked event handler of the menu item thats opening the form

hi, 

i have 2 forms, and i need to select some records from form A and click on a display menu item for form B to open. at the same time i need to pass those selected records to form B. for the display menu item i wrote a onclicked event handler and accessed the records. In the form init method of form B, i'm fetching the passed records.
the problem is that, the init method is being called before the onclicked event handler which is resulting in the selected record not being passed to form B

     1) Just Make a Runnable class which must have a main Method taking (Args _args) as arguments.
    2)Take the suitable arguments from _args.record() like in case of mine , it was table buffer( say ABC abc)
    3) Pass that buffer in args.record()   
                     
    Args args;
FormRun formRun;
;
super();
args = new args(formstr(Name of target form)); // sending Args(record) to FormB
args.record(abc);
formrun = classfactory.formrunclass(args);
formrun.init();---- invoking the init method of target form via code.
formrun.run();
formrun.wait();
formrun.detach();
    4)One thing , remove the display menu item button. Use Action menu item button with attached Runnable class having this code in it
    5) As the action menu item button will call the main method of the Runnable class

    You could do it, but it would mean lot of coding to get worse result.

    Forget opening the form from code, it's what menu items are for; they fill in parameters, apply security and so on.

    In init() method of the target form, create an instance of MultiSelectionHelper (e.g. MultiSelectionHelper::createFromCaller(this.args.caller()) and iterate selected records through it.

    so for the event handler i have used the container to store all the rec ids of the selected records and then coverting it into a string and using args.parm(multistring);

    and running either of the below pieces of code:

    1.)mf                                      =   new MenuFunction(identifierStr(HSIFSSICheckReleasedDate), MenuItemType::Display);

           mf.run(args);

    2.)    formrun = classfactory.formrunclass(args);

           formrun.init();

           formrun.run();

           formrun.wait();

           bankChequeTable_ds.executeQuery();

    martin can you elaborate on the solution you were suggesting.

    I do see either why you want to put your logic to the event handler and how you would communicate with the form opened by the menu item. It doesn't look as a feasible design to time.

    What logic do you have there? Why don't you run it on initialization of the target form?
