Event after form is fully loaded?

vb.net, winforms

Solution

You are looking for the event Form.Shown().

See the references on MSDN

This is the last event in the event chain when you open a form as documented here The Form 'Load' event is raised before the form is visible, the form 'Shown' event is raised when the form is visible. (and all controls too)

Also, remember to avoid calls to MessageBox inside the form 'Load' event, this disrupts the normal flow of events.

Problem

I want to do an event after `Form_Load` event. What is the event of "form fully loaded"?
