Where can I find a list of the sequence of events that a vb.net form goes
through... when the executable is first run?
(Before the user has moved/clicked/typed anything).

What order do these happen: load, active, validate, paint, resize, shown,
etc
(And all the others.)

I'm trying to run some of my own code just BEFORE the form is shown.... (but
AFTER Load() has happened).

Thanks.

Create a simple one-form application, and put a Debug.WriteLine(<event
name>) statement in each event that the form supports, and then just run it
and look at the output window.

Does this mean it is not documented anywhere? I can't find it in the standard
docs. I found an entry called "Order of Events in Windows Forms", but it
doesn't actually tell the order.
