Jud McCranie mentioned this to Gary Weinfurther:
 JM> First method I enter the name of my subroutine in the OI
 JM> ShowForm event field.
 JM> Second method double click on the OI ShowForm field and it will
 JM> create the shell of a subroutine TForm1.ShowForm, and you can
 JM> enter the call to your subroutine there.
These do the same thing.  The second method merely allows you to name the 
event handler yourself instead of using the default name.  You can also 
rename the handler later by editing its name in the OI.
I tend to use the following convention for putting code in an event handler:
If the code is small and relates directly to UI control, I put it in the 
event handler.  If the code is larger or is more related to application, 
business, or data logic, I put it in a separate routine and call it from the 
event handler.
Of course, you can always assign the event handlers yourself in the 
FormCreate event handler:
   Button1.OnClick := Button1Click;
   Edit1.OnChange  := Edit1Change;
But why spend the time and effort to do this?  It's much faster and easier to 
manage from the Object Inspector.
