Option 1:
Try calling Application.DoEvents(); at the end of your Form_Load event. Then call your method.

Option 2:
Try using the Validated event. This triggers after a form has been painted I believe.

Option 3:
You could start a timer in the load event (or instantiation) that checks a flag. When the flag becomes true, then the timer stops and triggers your method. Flag defaults to false, and set to true at the end of the Form_Loaded event. You may even put a small delay after the flag is true. This is a very messy way to handle it though.
