Screen repainting

Hello,

I am using VB.net. Is there a way to stop the screen from repainting. I
would perfer to stop screen repainting for the entire application.

Example when a form is loading. Stop repainting. Execute code. restore
repainting.

In VB 6 I called

Declare Function LockWindowUpdat e Lib "user32" (ByVal hwndLock As Long) As
Long

I have a "wizard" type program with a series of panels that are placed in a JPanel. When the "Next >" button is pressed, I put in a new panel (in other words, the ActionListener for "Next >" selects the proper panel from a CardLayout). Some of these panels, when selected, perform actions immediately. When that happens, the panel is not displayed until the action is complete. I've tried invalidating the layout and repainting, but it...

I have a .net/C# com object that creates a thread and a window to output results obtained in the thread (the thread is reading a com port). Everything seems to be working correctly (I don't get any errors), but no results are displayed in the window. If I move the window it is not repainting itself, so I am sure that that is the problem, but I don't know how to fix it. Can someone give me a point in the right direction? Thanks, Phil

I am having a strange problem with IE 6 and an image swap. I have a page with a dropdown list. The script changes an image on screen based on the value selected in the list. Simple enough, right? But when I change the value of the list by clicking with the mouse, the screen repaints. It doesn't refresh from the server, it just sort of "flashes". 1. If I change the list with the wheel on my mouse, the screen doesn't

Hello, In my application I am trying to load up some forms, however the loading of the forms is causing a lot of flickering.

Hello all, I have many buttons on a form and at the bottom of the form is a grid that behaves as though it is 'retractable' - at various times during the life of the app, the grid becomes taller and conceals the many buttons below it. That transition is fine. The problem is that when the grid retracts back down to the bottom portion of the form, to reveal the many buttons underneath it, the repainting is slow and ugly.

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it.

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,...
