Detect form finished being displayed?

[bobbie100]

I have some processing that I need to carry out after the main form is displayed the first time. How can I tell that the Form has finished the process of being displayed after it is created. I have a number of components and controls on the form including some created at run-time.
Many thanks,
Bob

Try using the OnActivate event handler for your form.

You can try using the a timer (Ttimer) like so:

type Tf1=class (tform) ......
t1:ttimer
.....

end;

var f1:Tf1;

implementation

procedure Tf1.formcreate(sender:tobject);
begin
.....
t1.interval:=1;
t1.enabled:=true;
end;

procedure tf1.t1timer(sender:tobject)
begin
t1.enabled:=false;
{ the inctructions}
end;


This way the instructions will run only one time after a milisecond
end;
