ok, the short of it is this:
I have a form with a datagrid view in it. I'm trying to re-size the form to match the size of the data (width) being shown in the grid. I can do this easily when it's a regular form (ie outside cad), but for some reason I can't get the size to change when it's inside cad (when it's being populated/loaded). So my question is this. Is there some way to know when the "load" event is done? (as I can change the size after this point).
Thanks
Solved! Go to Solution.
While I am still open to a better solution, I was able to rig a solution using the "activated" event. it's not perfect, but does get the job done.
Other ideas?
With Activated event the form/controls to be resized multiple times, if you have another dialog box pops up on top of this form, or even a message box pops up. To avoid the unnecessary multiple resizing, you may want to use Form's Shown event, which only fires once when the form is, well, shown.

I'll take a look at that.
I got around the perpetual loop of the activated event by using a boolean check (thus it only fires the code once)
Thanks.
