[Lazarus] Why is OnShow not executed?

[frans]

Hi

I'm using Lazarus 1.6.4 on Windows. I have a Form with a TPageControl 
with 5 tabsheet components.
Every tab has his own OnShow procedure to set the latest data in the fields.
Every time the Form is shown I want the first tab to become visible. 
Therefore the FormShow calls tab0.Show.
The first time the form shows it goes as I expect, the tab0 OnShow 
procedure is called and the data is set.
But when I close the form while showing the tab0, and then later opens 
it again, the FormShow is executed but tab0 OnShow is not. Apparently 
the program 'sees' that tab0 is already shown, so executing tab0.Show is 
not necessary. Is this as it should be?
To always execute the tab0 OnShow procedure I must call this directly. 
Is this the correct way?
