Question

How to know that a control is loaded in .Net Compact Framework, WinForms application?

Any ideas please...

Answer 1

you can check it by

 If Me.IsHandleCreated Then
  ' When winform is loaded
 End If

Answer 2

It depends on exactly what you mean by "loaded". The constructor is called when the Control is created, so if you need to know when an instance is creatred, that's where you'd put it.

If you want to know when it gets put into a Form/Container, then overriding OnParentChanged is probably a good place to put your code.
