Thanks for your responses. @Barracus, viewmodel code below. @Chilliworld, I used @load to start with then moved onto @bind in my frantic attempts to try and get it working. Have also tried local commands. The first hbox, has a binder attached to it so that the button can make the next hbox visible/invisible. Code below

<hbox apply="org.zkoss.bind.BindComposer">
       <button label="New Upload" onClick="@global-command('showNewRunUpload')" />
</hbox>
...


<hbox apply="org.zkoss.bind.BindComposer" viewModel="@id('vm') @init('xi.search.acquisition.upload.RunVM')" visible="@load(vm.runUploadVisibility)">

        <button upload="true" onUpload="@command('doUpload')" onClick="@command('printSomething')"/>
</hbox>

The viewmodel:

public class RunVM {
boolean runUploadVisibility = false;  // getters and setters omitted in this example for brevity 
....

@GlobalCommand 
@NotifyChange("runUploadVisibility")
public void showNewRunUpload(){
    runUploadVisibility = !runUploadVisibility;
}


@Command("printSomething")
public void printSomething(){
    System.out.println("printing");

}

@Command("doUpload")
@NotifyChange({"runs", "selectedRuns"})
public void doUpload(@ContextParam(ContextType.BIND_CONTEXT) BindContext ctx){
...
}//end doUpload

....
}// end class

Command 'printSomething()' always executes with the onClick event. The onUpload event doesn't register for some reason when runUploadVisibility = 'false' initially. onUpload only seems to work when runUploadVisibility is first set to true in the view model.
