Pop up dialog after Main Form displayed

Hi all,

I am developing a windows application. After the main form is displayed, I
want to immediately pop up a message box e.g. MsgBox("Hello").

However, if I place the MsgBox code inside MainForm_Load(,) MyBase.Load, the
message box will appear before the display of the main form.

So in which form event or method we can know the main form has just been
displayed?

Thanks,
Jason

Try adding "Me.Show()" directly before the MsgBox().

Or you could put it in the form's "Shown" event.

Hello,

I cannot find a "Shown" event in a form. Where could you find it? I am using
..NET 1.1

Thanks,
Jason
