title: Load event handler code not executing when showing a form
body: <pre><code>    Private Sub HangmanEnterWord_Load(ByVal sender
      As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs)
      Handles MyBase.Load
  
      Label1.Text = GameStage
      If GameStage = 1 Then
          lblPlayerNumber.Text = 1
      End If
      If GameStage = 2 Then
          lblPlayerNumber.Text = 2
      End If
  End Sub
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>This is the load event handler code for a form that I reopen during my application using:</p>
  
  <pre><code>HangmanEnterWord.Show()
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>The load event handler code executes when the form first opens however when the form is closed and re-opened, the load event code does not execute. How can I go about getting this to work?</p>
