What is the next event to fire after the OnCreateControl?

[Greg]

I am designing an inherited control. Besides the OnCreateControl , what
other events can be listened to that the if(!DesignMode) test willl
work? The reason I am asking is that a customer has asked to hide the
control. However, setting the controls visible property to false means
that the OnCreateControl which contains some essential processing never
fires. I need somewhere else to relocate this code, presumably in the
next event after the OnCreateControl event. Also, is there is a
published list of events in the lifecyle of a winforms control? I
can't find anything on this!

TIA

Greg.

Depending on what it is, if this code is essential to the control running,
it should be in constructor. usually a initialise method and have that
called by constructor.

Thanks Daniel, but I need to be able to differentiate between run and
design time since the app I have written is for a mini-IDE.

Greg.

Ah this is for a development environment?

Well if they are hiding the control then it cannot be seen or used anyway,
you could have it fire on being made visible? Not 100% of your requirements
or use so this may be wrong.
