Never mind my last post...
Here's what i found, the this.ResumeLayout(false) statement seems to always be the last line of InitializeComponent() so here's a cleaner solution i found:

public new void ResumeLayout(bool resume)
{
	if (!this.formInitisComplete)
	{
		this.formInitisComplete = true;
		this.AfterInitializeComponent();
	}
	base.ResumeLayout(resume);
}

>The base class's constructor executes in it's entirety before the derived class's constructor, so you wouldn't be able to put a call to an AfterInitializeComponent() in the constructor of the base class. But, a class's Load event fires next (after both constructors, base and derived), so you could put a call to an AfterInitializeComponent() in your base class's Load event handler (which will execute in it's entirety before the derived class's Load event).
