Form_Load(), Form_initialize() and Form_Activate() event

[Subashini.Ramasamy]

Can you just tell me that among Form_Load(), Form_initialize() and Form_Activate() event, Which one occurs first, second and third?

[vcyogi]

It Executes Like ILRAP
I---Initialize
L---Load
R---Resize
A---Activate
P---Paint

Absolutely. I agree with VCYogi.

Every time an instance of the form is created, it executes Form_initialize().
Eg: Dim x as FormName

Every time the form is opened, it loads the instance into the memory and executes Form_Load(),
Eg: x.show (I am not sure about this syntax for show function)

And every time the form is navigated to, it executes Form_Activate()
Eg. Click on the form / use Alt + Tab to navigate to Form window.

So, the order will be Initialize, Load & then Activate.
