Form_Load Event

[Ori]

Back in the good old VBn days a form showed itself AFTER the Load event was
processed.

In .NET, however, the loaded form is displayed (including interim states of
it) DURING the processing of the Load event.

Is there a way to prevent this?

Thank you

So we need a .Loaded event to signal completion of a loaded form.

Just like we have closing and closed events.

you could always override WndProc and check WM_ message

 

[news.microsoft.com]

can you not check

if (this.Created == true )
{
}

or

on the _Load event to see if its finished loading

The Created property returns true if the Control was successfully created

or .Visible?

Occurs when the form is activated in code or by the user.

Bzzt. I guess I can just keep trigering that by activating that as a USER.

If ur gona post in the forums, try using proper .NET naming conventions and
not some jackass p_blahblah

What's the problem with that?

Did you test it?

I am using proper conventions. The "p_" prefix stands for "persistent".

If you are asking for help you probably should refrain from calling people
jackasses!

Otherwise we might be tempted to tell you to learn to spell...

Where in MSDN guidelines does it state that.

That would equate to hungarian.

Who has ever forbidden to use Hungarian notation or something similar?
You? Who gives you the right to do that?

Well, since its a PUBLIC .NET Forum and since its STANDARD .NET NAMING
CONVENTION it useful to use the STANDARD notation for a PUBLIC audience.
Not some quakamily format. Ok fine, Ill start writing my own code examples
in some obscure convention..

Its blooody common sense to use STANDARD notation for a widespread audience.
Guess yoou wernt at the common sense counter.

Well, since its a PUBLIC .NET Forum and since its STANDARD .NET NAMING
CONVENTION

There is no standard on a naming convention. There are "guidelines" and
recommendations on the naming of things that are part of the interface
(name of the class, methods, properties).

it useful to use the STANDARD notation for a PUBLIC audience.

It's useful for _you_. But it doesn't make sense for me. I use my
adapted convention which is superior.

Nobody will prevent you from doing that.

Who defines that? You?

 

[news.microsoft.com]

yes you are superior. since the rest of the .net world will use camelcase
and pascal case and the GUIDELINES.

Actually ECMA defines that, does it not in the NOTATION. SO YES ITS BLLOODY
STANDARD unless you know better than the ECMA specs.

I won't use camel case.

Who cares what ECMA defines?

SO YES ITS BLLOODY
STANDARD unless you know better than the ECMA specs.

Nobody can forbid me to use my own convention, even not for loval
variables. VB.NET isn't standardized by ECMA.

Well, since you are not talking to one of youre corp collegues, and we do
not adhear to YOURE naming guidelines, and more people than you think use
ECMA guidelines, and as this is a PUBLIC group and on an MS server, i
suggest you use it or youre code will just be wiped on my aarse at least.

I suggest you include a lexicon and key detailing youre code for every post
you make.

That wouldn't do because Activate event fires 1+ times for a form. I need a
once-off event to initialize stuff.

To clarify: the function works propertly but since the form is visible at
that stage there is a lot of flickering.
