Stopping the update of a text box while maipulatin it.

[UJ]

I've got a text box that I'm going to be doing some manipulation on
(selecting text, moving stuff around, that kind of thing) but I don't
want/need the user to see it while it's going on. I'd like to leave the box
up while I'm doing the manipulation but turn off the updating of the text
box until I'm done. How can I do this? (At the moment it flashes a couple of
times while things are going on and it's annoying.)

TIA - Jeff.

Jeff,

Can you not do the following

private void ManipulateText()
{
string MyText = MyTexBox.Text;
// Manipulation code goes here
MyTextBox.Text = MyText;
}

Thats the obvious solution unless there is some special need.

What actually seems to be causing the problem is I have a multiline text box
(that the contents are larger than the displayable area) and I add the text
and then select the last character of the text and do a scrolltocarat. While
that happens the screen flashes.

It's just that it's annoying.
