delay form appearing

I have a form that loads on startup. This form calls another form that I want
to appear in the top left of the screen. I use a custom menu bar and hide the
default Access bar (hidden from the startup box)

The problem is that the second form is called before the default bar is
hidden. This leaves the second form stranded about a cm below where I want
it. Using the timer event to movesize the form every second or so fixes this
but I don't like having the timer fire all the time when I just need to move
the form once.

Any suggestions on a better way to handle this would be greatly appreciated
Thanks
 
I hope someone has a better solution but you could set the form's
TimerInterval property to zero after everything has settled down. That stops
the OnTimer even from firing.

I might not understand the problem, but there are probably a few other
possibilities. One obvious possibility is to hide the second form until the
default bar is hidden.
