System.Windows.Forms.Form.Activated Event

Occurs when the form is activated in code or by the user.

Syntax

public event EventHandler Activated

Remarks

Note:

When the application is active and has multiple forms, the active form is the form with the input focus. A form that is not visible cannot be the active form. The simplest way to activate a visible form is to click it or use an appropriate keyboard combination.

To activate a form at run time using code, call the Form.Activate method. You can use this event for tasks such as updating the contents of the form based on changes made to the form's data when the form was not activated.
