openning a messagebox during form load

[Guest]

Any such thing as postopen event?

I have a form that loads data and after loading informs user of missing
information via a messagebox. My problem is that the messagebox appears
before the form opens. I would like the form to finish openning then have the
messagebox open on top of the form.



Thanks in advance.

Private Sub Form1_Activated( _
ByVal sender As Object, _
ByVal e As EventArgs _
) Handles MyBase.Activated
Static IsActivated As Boolean
If Not IsActivated Then
IsActivated = True
Application.DoEvents()
MsgBox("Foo")
End If
End Sub

Just before you do MessageBox.Show (), write the following line of
code:

this.Visible = true;

This will ensure that the form is made visible before the message box
is shown. Its a hack but it works.

This did not work for me.By the way, the method that opens the messagebox is
called in the formLoad event?
