Calling conventions

Event handlers are called and executed on this order:

1. FORMS extensions in the order they are loaded, which is the same as the order in which they are numbered in Ehlocal.ini. That is, Plugin1 is loaded first, then Plugin2, etc.

   Default location in Windows XP and Windows Server 2003: C:\Windows

   Default location in the newer operating systems: C:\Users\Public\ReadSoft\FORMS

   If two or more extensions subscribe to the same event:

   2. The event handlers are called in reverse loading order.

   3. All extensions run their code for a certain event, even if some return EV_OK_ABORT.

   4. The extension that is called last returns the value that is acted upon.

2. VBA event handlers (code written in the VBA editor using the Manager module) or DLL event handlers.
3. Event servers.
