Flicker in Customized Common Dialog

I am creating various customized open file dialogs. When I display one
of my large dialogs followed by one of the smaller dialogs, you can see
the smaller dialog resize itself from the larger dialog's size. How
do I avoid this? I am resizing the dialog in response to the Init
Dialog message and customizing in the window in response to the Init
Done notification message.

You can try SuspendLayout and ResumeLayout functions.

Thanks,

Thanks for the reply, but how would I do that? This is a common dialog
created via API calls, not a managed windows form.

Hello and thanks for any help I've noticed that my main application window has a bad Flash/Flicker sometimes when I close a modal dialog box. Sometimes it also loses focus, and gets placed behind another window that was not originally on top. I perform the dispose inside of the dialog, for instance when a user clicks on the Ok button as follows private void okButton_Click(object o, EventArgs e /*Perfrom some action* this.Dispose() ...

Is there a way to customize the open file common dialog? I am trying to modify the button text so I can create a delete file common dialog. I need the same functionality of the open file common dialog but just need to change the button text from "open" to "delete". Any ideas? Thanks

Hi: I am trying to create customized confirmation/error/etc dialogs in my application. Up to now we've been using MessageBox.Show and passing it the various necessary flags (buttons, icons, etc). By "customized", I mean I want complete control over the color of the messagebox, the position/color/size of the buttons, etc. Do I need to create a custom form from scratch, or is there a way to subclass MessageBox? (I'm guessing I need to...

I need to include a wizard in my application that will, as one of the steps, ask the user to select a file to open and (later) a file to save it as. The naff way to do this would be to have a button on the form that pops-up the common dialog. The cool way to do this would be to have the common dialog embedded in the wizard. I know it's possible, as I've seen other apps do this kind of thing, but I have no ideas how it can be achieved and...

Hi, I don't have much experience in c# .net, so please bear with me. I would like to have some advice if possible. the goal is 1. there are several user defined(maybe the existing common button control can be imported and utilized) common controls(like toolbox, e.g., box1, box2, box3, - would be better if they are shrinked shape, will be all rectangular shape though, of the actual structured memeber
