slow refresh on a forum with +15 linklabels

Hi,

I have a form which contains more than 15 linklabels, all of them have a
transparant backcolor.
The form itself has a backgroundimage .

Now when I show the form, it takes a moment to refresh all the controls and a
black rectangle comes into place of each of the linklabels before they refresh.

Since this is very ugly, I'm looking for way to get rid of this.
When I remove the transparant background on the linklabels,
the effect is almost gone but still noticable.

Maybe someone has a better way to do things, and avoid the ugly refresh?

I previously posted re. this, but thought I'd try again with a summary of facts. I have an Access 2000 MDB with a SQL Server 7 back end. There is a view that is linked to the database via ODBC and has been in place for several years without any performance problems. Recently I added a couple of fields to the output of the view, and it became very slow when scrolling. When just opened in the database window, the linked view takes about...

Hi, I'm creating a pupup window inherited from a windows form. At runtime I create a new instance of the of the popup. I add +-15 linklabels to the form and then I show the form. Now when the form has a background image it builds up slowly, but when I set the linklabels to a transparant back color it is increasingly slow.

Given two .NET applications A and B. These two application communicate with each other by using an object C: A --> C <-- B Application A has a listview. This listview can be refreshed by pressing F5 OR externally by receiving an event from C. C will raise an event when it receives data from B. So, B sends a message to C. And C raises an event that is "catched" by A.

Hello, I was wondering if anyone can help me. I have some code where I'm creating linklabels during runtime using filenames that in a directory. I created a LinkClicked event but it only launches the last file that is called in the ClickEvent. I tried placing the Event in the FOR EACH statement but that's not helping. If interested I'm using VB2005. How can I apply a Click Event to each LinkLabel or each linklabel to the same ClickedEvent?...

Hi, I need to put a very large image as background (1030px X 774px) on the main window of my application. Also, on this window I need to add transparent Usercontrol, Panel and Label. Every time I need to refresh or replace a Usercontrol, the redraw is doing very TOO slow and there some flickering... I try to activate the double buffering but without success. Same refresh speed.

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
