Flicker Problem Solved

Hi all,

Just in case anyone was wondering - I found out what caused my flicker
problem... though I still don't understand why. In my app I initially set
the main form's Opacity to 0%. I then change it to 100% after my
initialization code completes. It turns out that for some reason that was
causing the form to display really large black patches in the background
when it was re-sized. I changed the code to use the Visible property of the
form instead of Opacity, and the flicker is gone.

Anyone know why this would happen?

Thanks,
Michael C
