Form.Shown Event

Occurs whenever the form is first displayed.

Namespace: System.Windows.Forms
Assembly: System.Windows.Forms (in system.windows.forms.dll)

public:
event EventHandler^ Shown {
	void add (EventHandler^ value);
	void remove (EventHandler^ value);
}
/** @event */
public void add_Shown (EventHandler value)

/** @event */
public void remove_Shown (EventHandler value)

In JScript, you can handle the events defined by a class, but you cannot define your own.
Not applicable.

The Shown event is only raised the first time a form is displayed; subsequently minimizing, maximizing, restoring, hiding, showing, or invalidating and repainting will not raise this event.

For more information about handling events, see Consuming Events.

The following code example demonstrates the use of this member. In the example, an event handler reports on the occurrence of the Shown event. This report helps you to learn when the event occurs and can assist you in debugging. To report on multiple events or on events that occur frequently, consider replacing System.Windows.Forms.MessageBox.Show with System.Console.WriteLine or appending the message to a multiline TextBox.

To run the example code, paste it into a project that contains an instance of type Form named Form1. Then ensure that the event handler is associated with the Shown event.
