What events fire after the form is displayed on the screen?

[Randy Fraser]

Can anyone tell me what events fire after the form is displayed on the
screen?

All I want is the form to load and display a message for 2000 ms and close
automatically.

I don't see an onFocus() method or Open() method that will execute code
after the form is displayed.

Best Regards
Randy

Why not enable a timer and close the Form in the timer's tick event?

In the form's 'Load' event handler or 'OnLoad' method, call its 'Show'
method, then its 'Refresh' method and after that you can place your
code.
