VB.Net equivalent for VB6 code

[Colin McGuire]

Hi, in VB6 there was an event, for a form named Form1, to trap the
load event called Form1_Load. Similar events for Form1_Initialize and
Form1_Activate.

VB6 VB.Net
===================================
Form1_Load Handles MyBase.Load
Form1_Initialize Handles MyBase.Initialize
Form1_Activate ?

In VB.Net I have found that the first two events can be captured by
adding "Handles MyBase.Load" or "Handles MyBase.Initialize" to the
subroutine name.

I cannot find the equivalent routine for Form1_Activate. Is there one?

Thank you
Colin

You don't have to type it manually. Select them from the combobox at the top of the code editor window.

Intellisense deactivated?

Load => Load
Activate => Activated
Initialize => the constructor (sub New)

There is no 'Initialize' event in VB.NET. I would compare 'Initialize'
to the ctor of the VB.NET class...

Form1_Activate ?
'Activated'.

'Activated'.
