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.SuspendUpdate

then

this.RestoreUpdate

Regards

Jeff,

Have you tried using this.SuspendLayout and this.ResumeLayout? They are
normally used when adding controls to a control.
