I have a parent form that contains a custom child control.

When the parent form Form_Show() event kicks off, I want to have it execute a process in my custom control.  I don't want to put any code in the parent form though...  

I'd like to just drop the control on the form, and when the form is shown, it will execute the function of the control (which adjusts background color, font colors, etc. of controls on parent to settings from a file).

I have the child control working, but would like to have it automatically attach it's GO() function to the parent Form_Show() event.

Anyone know how to do this?

Is there some particular reason why you need that info, why cant you use, for instance, UserControl Show event? It is fired whenever usercontrol is created, just check if Ambient.UserMode=True, if so, it means that we are in rum time, and Form is loaded.
