Order of events ‘Form.Load’, ‘Form.Shown’ and ‘Form.Activated’ in Windows Forms

by

See the Windows Forms Events Lifecycle:

  • Move: This event occurs when the form is moved. Although by default, when a form is instantiated and launched, the user does not move it, yet this event is triggered before the Load event occurs.
  • Load: This event occurs before a form is displayed for the first time.
  • VisibleChanged: This event occurs when the Visible property value changes.
  • Activated: This event occurs when the form is activated in code or by the user.
  • Shown: This event occurs whenever the form is first displayed.
  • Paint: This event occurs when the control is redrawn.
  • Deactivate: This event occurs when the form loses focus and is not the active form.
  • Closing: This event occurs when the form is closing.
  • Closed: This event occurs when the form is being closed.
