Sequence of events and all hooks made available in System.Windows.Forms

Question

Is there any explanation of the sequence of events that occurs in the creation, manipulation, and closing of System.Windows.Forms's various forms and components? Is there an explanation of all possible hooks that I can override and the order they are called in and what happens in between their calling?

I've run into so many avoidable problems because I don't have a good understanding of what's going on under the hood here.
