Show a form after Application Load

Question

I want to show a dialog box or form immediately after my application loads. If I place a .showdialog in the main form load event the dialog shows before the application shows.

I’m trying to give some user tips when they load my application.

Thanks

Answer 1

The Shown event is pretty much designed for this.

Answer 2

Put the dialog form invocation in the Form_Activate event of your main form.
