Issue with form_load

Question

I am trying to make certain labels buttons etc be visible on load up however, when I click off the form and back on to it the form_load code activates again. Its as if it was an onClick event instead of load.

I am completely new to coding so this will probably be something extremely simple

Many Thanks

private void formCanvas_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        lblUsed.Visible = false;
        lblScore.Visible = false;
        lblUsedLetters.Visible = false;
        lblGuessWord.Visible = false;
        lblUserChoice.Visible = false;
        lblWord.Visible = true;
        txtUserLetter.Visible = false;
        txtUserWord.Visible = true;
        btnSubmitWord.Visible = true;
        btnSubmitLetter.Visible = false;
        lblLives.Visible = false;
        btnExit.Visible = false;
        btnRestart.Visible = false;
    }

Answer 1

you should put the code on the constructor of the formCanvas class

public formCanvas()
{
    InitializeComponent();
    lblUsed.Visible = false;
    lblScore.Visible = false;
    lblUsedLetters.Visible = false;
    lblGuessWord.Visible = false;
    lblUserChoice.Visible = false;
    lblWord.Visible = true;
    txtUserLetter.Visible = false;
    txtUserWord.Visible = true;
    btnSubmitWord.Visible = true;
    btnSubmitLetter.Visible = false;
    lblLives.Visible = false;
    btnExit.Visible = false;
    btnRestart.Visible = false;

}
