Running code after form is displayed

I have been searching for an answer to this question with no luck. The only
answer I saw does not seem to work.

I need to run some code (specifically something that will check and download
software updates) after the form is displayed. The answer I saw said I
should put the code in the forms Activated event. But this event is still
going off for the first the BEFORE the form is shown. I know this because I
put a sleep statement towards the end (after my run-once code) and did not
see the form on the screen. As soon as the sleep ended, the form appeared.

Any help would be appreciated.

In the form's 'Load' event handler, try this:

\\\
Me.Show()
Me.Refresh()
PerformTheUpdate()
