After Load Event?

[Collin Smith]

Hi all,

I was looking for the equivalent of an "after load" event to fire when I
load a windows form. I'm opening an additional form in the first form's
load event, the problem is the form will open before the first form is
displayed and thus display behind the first form. I can code around this,
but is there obvious event that I am missing to have instructions processed
after the first form is rendered?

Thanks,

Collin

In the form's 'Load' event handler:

\\\
Me.Show()
Me.Refresh()
Dim f As New Form2()
f.Show()
///

I tried this and the second form keeps popping behind the first form onload.

Another option:
handle Activate Event of the first form as :

Private Sub firstform_Activate(sender, e)
Static isFirstTimeActivate as Boolean = False
If isFirstTimeActivate Then Return

isFirstTimeActivate = True
Dim f as new Form2()
f.Show()
End Sub
