*I believe pre-form is the earliest trigger, then when-new-form-instance.
*I had a similar problem, but in reverse - when the user takes
*a (customised) menu option to exit the entire forms 'stack',
*each of the forms in the stack briefly flicks into view.
*We do this by setting a global and then checking the global
*in the when-window-activated trigger, and found we could NOT prevent
*this flicking.
*So I doubt you will be able to either.

We do notice a flicker if we make all the canvases in the window stacked, i.e. No content canvases.

Nothing appears until we navigate to a block. Received on Mon Jul 15 1996 - 00:00:00 CEST
