Form.Activate Event

Definition

Occurs when a form becomes active. This API is obsolete. For information about how to develop ASP.NET mobile applications, see Mobile Apps & Sites with ASP.NET.

public:
 event EventHandler ^ Activate;
public event EventHandler Activate;
member this.Activate : EventHandler 
Public Custom Event Activate As EventHandler 

Event Type

Remarks

The Activate event occurs under the following circumstances:

  • When a page is first requested, the first form is activated.

  • When the ActiveForm property of the page is set programmatically.

  • When the user navigates to a form through a Link control whose target is a form.

This event's position in the event chain makes it very important for binding child controls to data sources or for setting a form property that can be inherited by all child controls.
