Showing a form on another form's load

Hello.

How can I show a form as modal on another form's load
event so that the calling form is shown before the called
form.

I tried it by calling Form.ShowDialog from inside another
form load event, but the called form is shown before the
calling form gets visible.

Any ideia?

Thanks in advance,
Celio C. J.

Static p_blnActivated As Boolean
If Not p_blnActivated Then
p_blnActivated = True

' Show the 2nd form here!
End If
End Sub
