screen painting problem

I have a form loaded with a full screen form image. I've overlayed a number
of controls for filling in the form.
When the form opens, I can watch as each control loads (flickering). It
also does the same thing each time the form scrolls. What is the best
strategy for getting rid of the flickering?

Thanks,
Rick

Hi Rick,

First of all, I would like to confirm my understanding of your issue. From
your description, I understand that the controls on a full screen form with
a background image flickers when loading and scrolling. If there is any
misunderstanding, please feel free to let me know.

Based on my experience, this is a typical performance issue. The controls
flickers because the CPU is busy redrawing the background and the controls
at that time. I think the background image might be a high quality JPEG
file, so it might be too big in size and you can try to resize it using
some tools. Make it smaller and change it to BMP might makes it faster for
the system to load.

HTH.

Kevin Yu
