>Is there any way to change the order in which controls are initialized during a form initialization. I mainly want my action buttons to be initialized always last, but so far can't find an easy way to do this. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.
AFAIK, you can't. One thing you could do is programmatically add the control buttons after the other controls have initialized.
Why do you need to do this? It sounds like you may be either breaking encapsulation or not putting code in the right place(s). Startup of a form is LISAG:
Load()
Init()
Show()
Activate()
GotFocus()
