What Windows event fires when you un-hide a form?

For various reasons, I've got a form in an app that needs to remain opened all the time (mostly because users want any data they type there to be "remembered" by the form)... so I allow them to hide it only.

I had THOUGHT that adding a "shown" event would allow me to fire some code every time they re-displayed the form, but now I see that the Shown event only fires ONCE during the form's lifecycle.

What event fires when you do another "Show()" on the hidden form?
