Form - Prevent Flicker when changing Opacity

I have a form with several tabs and I want to dynamically change the
opacity of it while shown. Is there a way to stop the form updating on
screen until all controls have change opacity then allow the form to
display.

Lookings for something like

this.SuspendUpd ate

then

this.RestoreUpd ate

Regards

Jeff,

Have you tried using this.SuspendLay out and this.ResumeLayo ut? They are
normally used when adding controls to a control.

I am using Access 2000 and have a form with an image background (the clouds that came with Office). I also have an OnChange event on the Item control.

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 am writing a small script to fade the opacity of an image/object. The script itself works fine only I do have some unwanted behaviour. I do use a tablecell object and the mouseover/mouseout to activate the script. In the same cell are some links listed and when you move the cursor over the links the image starts to flicker. This is because of the getElementById that identifies each link as an object. Anyone knows how I can solve...

Hi all. I have a problem in my website in trying to prevent a user from double submitting the form. I am calling a subroutine from my page_load event that passes in the commandbutton that I want to prevent users from being able to click twice.

When my client-side validation fires, and is invalid, I see the red text that displays the error message, but the problem is that something is...

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

Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...

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,...
