ListBox SelectItem

[Dom]

I populate a ListBox in the Form's Load event. I want to select a
default item, but apparently, I can't do that in the Load Event. (I
remember that was a problem in VB also). Where is the best place to
do this?

In general, what are the order of events in CSharp? In VB we had the
I LOATHE RAP rule -- Init, Load, Resize, Activate, Paint.

Odd - I haven't hit that myself... but perhaps (as an untested, off
the wall idea) you could BeginInvoke to an inline to do this once the
form starts pumping its message queue? i.e.

int selectedIndex = 16; // or whatever
BeginInvoke((MethodInvoker) delegate {
myList.SelectedIndex = selectedIndex;
});

Don't use Invoke(), as this will execute immediately, which isn't what
you want.
