Where or what is the proper way to get a procedure to start after the form
is shown on the screen? I figured out if you put it in Load it will start
before the form is shown and the form will not show until the procedure is
complete... so whats the best way to get something to start after the form
is loaded and visible? thanks!

Smokey,
Starting with .Net 2.0, you can use the form's Shown event.

Hi Smokey,
You could use a BackgroundWorke r class. See help on
ms-help://MS.VSCC.v80/MS.MSDN.v80/MS.VisualStudio .v80.en/dv_fxmclictl/
html/5b56e2aa-dc05-444f-930c-2d7b23f9ad5b.ht m
Or alternatively, you could start a timer at the end of the form Load
event and perform your job the first time the timer tick is called.
This is not a true background solution though.
JB
Smokey,
If I need to use the Activated method I usually create a boolean value so not to
use it from keep firing:
Example:
Dim blnHasFired As Boolean = False
Then use something like this:
If blnHasFired = False Then
' Do Something Here
blnHasFired = True
Exit Sub
End If

My (probably rough!) solution to this is to force the form to show before
doing anything...
So in form_load, I put
{
Form1.Show();
Application.DoE vents();
Do stuff.... ;
}

I have some old code that I use from the Access 95 Developers handbook. The
code works very well, with the exception that it doesn't seem to recognize
wide screens, and sizes tab controls so that they are too big and wind up
covering up some of the fields on the main form.
Is there any good code out there that works in a similar fashion that will
also either a) stretch the form width wise on widescreens or b), rely on
height rather than...

Hi All,
I will start working on a form soon which runs as an mdi container (in the main screen)
However there is this "new" requirement, there will be 4 screens, and one of the features of the program is to open child forms (not within the mdi container) but in a totally different screen (as in a second one, not the primary one).
Now it is going to be a quad screen system. not even 2.

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
