Brian. Superb! I've never really liked putting stuff that could potentially go wrong in a constructor (throwing exceptions etc) but I suppose things have changed - the good old days as far as I'm concerned is the Win32 API ;o) I spend more time trying to figure out how to do it with the BCLs now which I find very frustrating.

I wasn't programming for Windows in the "good old days," but you can either put initialisation code in the constructor for a form, or within the Load event. VS.NET actually creates an InitializeComponent() method itself, but I wouldn't mess with it. Actually, it just calls that method from the constructor anyway, so there really isn't anything special about it. Here's the order in which events are processed: Main Constructor InitializeComponent Load Layout Activated Paint Closing Closed Dispose Hopefully this will help you out.

In the good old days we had WM_INITDIALOG that seemed to be the place to write initialisation code where would I do the equivalent in WinForms? or is this just plain stupid.
