Update:
This question escalated to a new/related question which was fortunately solved by @RemyLebeau here.
So, instead of reading below, you should go directly to Major flaw - Radio buttons are not correctly set while the form is invisible
Thanks Remy
I have two form. When I click a radiobtn, I want to hide one form and show the second one.
Hide Form1 and show Form2:
procedure TForm1.RadioButton2Click(Sender: TObject);
begin
Form2.Visible:= TRUE;
Form1.Visible:= FALSE;
end;
In Form2 I press a button to 'return' to Form1:
procedure TForm2.Button1Click(Sender: TObject);
begin
Form1.RadioButton1.Checked:= TRUE;
Form1.Visible:= TRUE; <--- this will 'magically' put the RadioButton1 back to false
end;
However, I get this error when I try to make Form1 visible:
Project Tester.exe raised exception class EInvalidOperation with message 'Cannot change Visible in OnShow or OnHide'
Putting a breakpoint in RadioButton2Click I find out that RadioButton1 was magically rechecked during Form1.Visible:= TRUE (during TCustomForm.SetVisible more exactly).
Why is the RadioButton2 'magically' checked during SetVisible?

The workaround (not the final fix) is to do the changes to the GUI (form1) AFTER you make it visible!
Update!
The bug is related to the TabOrder property!
