.NET Forum / .NET Framework / Compact Framework / August 2007Forms - Shown() method or similar
Dear List, I need an event to be fired after a Form is first Shown. Is there something we can do to initiate an event at this stage? Thanks, Dave Form itself has events for Load and Activate. Where exactly do you want to handle the events - within the form itself or elsewhere in some other class?

I want that to take place when the form is visible, and then display the Waiting cursor so the user knows somethings actually happening instead of having no form shown and waiting, wondering whats going on. So thats why I was hoping for a Shown event, so I can fire off the Web Service call after the Form is defiently Shown and visible to the user. I might give Load another go, but I thought the visibility of the Form would remain hidden until the Load event is finished? Well, I 'll give it a go, Cheers, Dave > The Load event should be sufficient. > [quoted text clipped - 14 lines] > > Thanks, > > Dave You can force the form to be made visible in the Load event handler and set the wait cursor there too. -- Neil Cowburn Principal Partner OpenNETCF Consulting > What I want to do is populate a ListView once the form is visible, so when > the Form becomes visible I call a Web service and check for new data to [quoted text clipped - 32 lines] >> > Thanks, >> > Dave Did anyone ever tell you your a genius?
