When is the Window.SourceInitialized event raised

Question

Can I guarantee the Window.SourceInitialized event will always be raised before the Window.Loaded event? I need the HwndSource object for further processing in my Window.Loaded event handler and I'm not sure if this will always be available by then

Answer 1

Here's the sequence of events you can expect (it should occur before Loaded):

If you want to double-check, or don't trust getting the SourceInitialized event...then you can try and obtain the HwndSource yourself....to see if it's connected.
