Firing a timer happens through a Windows message, so it will never
happen before the project file reaches the Application.Run line.
So you can be really sure. You could also post a message to yourself,
that would be slightly cleaner.

All the same, I don't think I'd do this. For things that stay within
the form, overriding Loaded is the proper way. Things that may look
outside their own form need to wait until all forms have initialised;
I'd probably add a line to the project file. Or rearrange so forms
don't depend on other forms.

Very strange. Have you tried Invalidating some things, or HandleNeeded?
