I have a form that has is longer than the vertical screen size, ie. the whole form doesn't fit on the screen.  It has scroll bars so the user can scroll the page.

On the bottom part of the form, there is an HTML form for the user to fill in.

When the application starts, the form scrolls to the first TEdit in the form and gives it focus.

To get around this I had to add a timer, and add the following to the OnTimer event:

  Timer1.Enabled := False;
  Application.Viewport.ScrollTop := 0;

Using Self.ScrollTop or frmMain.ScrollTop doesn't work.

My question is, is there another way to do this that doesn't involve a timer?

Using this code in the Form's OnShow event doesn't work.  

It would be great if there was an event that fired when everything had finished loading.

Thanks.

To scroll the form to the top you could try calling scroll asynchonously using a procedure. Have a look at the post by Raul:

Thanks Stew (and Raul).  I did a search previously and didn't find that thread.  Works great.

Just use this line in your main form's AutoCreate (or in the project's .dpr code):

  Application.AutoFocus:=False;

You *will*, however, then need to set focus to whatever control you want to have focus in the form's OnShow event handler.
