Answer 2

I've seen that page ... not sure how to implement. Given:

    //------------------------------
    public dlgXyz()
    {
      InitializeComponent();
      SendBytes();
    }
    //------------------------------
    //------------------------------
    private void SendBytes()
    {
      ...
    }
    //------------------------------

SendBytes() needs to be delayed until the dlgXyz() function completes setting up the dialog box.

Answer 3

private void Form1_Shown(Object sender, EventArgs e) {

  SendBytes();

}

Also you need to add Handle to shown event, you could do this through form designer.

Answer 4

Not sure what that means ... "add Handle to shown event".  How do I do that?  I don't see that in the Properties box when I select the dialog box.

Answer 6

Thanks for the response.  For other viewers ... as the font is very small ... the sequence is:

Dialog Box -> Properties -> Events -> Shown ... enter a name such as "dlgXyzShown".  This leads to the creation of:

    //------------------------------
    private void dlgSyzShown(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
    }
    //------------------------------
