Hi,
I have a windows form with a background image - set through the forms
background image property. The form also has panels and icons on top of
it.
When this form is loading, there's a lot of flicker in the screen.
I tried reducing this by enabling double buffering -
//Constructor
this.SetStyle(C ontrolStyles.Do ubleBuffer,true );
this.SetStyle(C ontrolStyles.Us erPaint ,true);
this.SetStyle(C ontrolStyles.Al lPaintingInWmPa int,true);
Even after this there's no change. How do I solve this?
The background image is a .png image and its size is 60k.

Have you tried overriding the OnPaintBackgrou nd method, and leaving it
blank so that the base isn't called? From experience I've found that
this helps with almost all flicker problems. It has its side effects
though.
Also the double buffer that is built in doesn't always work as well as
having your own buffer that you write to. Again, just my own experience.

I found I was getting some flicker recently with a background image -
the form flashed black when first loaded.
Turns out I had set a Transparency Key value (had been playing around
with values for it out of curiosity) and removing that sorted out my
problem.

Me.txtLength = 55 - (Len(Me.Item.Text))
Everthing works just fine. I then added a tab control. Now, whenever I
add/change/delete data in the Item control, the screen flickers. If I
take out the event, there is no flicker. If I use the event and remove
the image, there is no flicker. If...

I have an MDI application with two maximized child forms. At any given time
only one of the child forms is in the foreground and visible. To alternate
between the two child forms, I can type Ctrl-Tab. This results in a

However, when I attempt to use my own code to toggle between the two forms

I will make an example if someone doesn't understand.
BACKGROUND:
We have built a "skinnable" interface, which uses rollover effects
using simple javascript. Before these images were defined in the HTML
(IMG src and TD Backgrounds), and it worked fine. You moused over a
button, for instance, and it changed immediately.
Now we have switched everything to external...

The first method I ever used for multiple state buttons was to create a
graphic for each button for each state: AboutUs_on, AbooutUs_over,
AboutUs_out, etc. That works great when there are just a few buttons.
I'm creating interfaces now with many more buttons than "just a few".
I solved the maintenance problem by having generic button images, one
for each state, and having them be background images for text
containers, DIVs in this...

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
