.Net 2.0 - Webbrowser control flickering on resize....

Jim Hubbard

Has anyone seen a fix for the flickering effect you get when resizing a
Webbrowser control?

It's really irritating and doesn't make for a professional-looking
application.

Evidentially the flickering has to do with the Microsoft tab control that I
used to host the Microsoft webbrowser control. If I use a 3rd party tab
control (like DotNetBar) the flicker is almost non-existent.

But......if you know how to remedy this Microsoft tab control flicker
problem, please let me know.

I just tried putting the WebBrowser control on a Panel on top of the Tab control and that was really bad.
It seems that the WebBrower control does best(least amount of flickering) on a form itself. Too bad, I can
see where having a Tabbed browser would be nice ( FireFox).

In general, setting these styles on a .Net Control will eliminate flicker:

ControlStyles.D oubleBuffer
ControlStyles.A llPaintingInWmP aint

There is a DoubleBufferd property that is evidentially overridable
(according to
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/lib...buffered.aspx).

As I am just learning .Net (starting with .Net 2.0) I'll have to figure out
how to do this and if it will give the desired effect.

After all, if I override a protected property, aren't I just replacing it's
internal code with my own? And, if that is the case, I won't be changing
any internal settings of the Webbrowser class and won't have any effect on
its double buffering.

Does that make any sense?

No. Whenever you create a control it is based on (derived from) the .Net
control. The properties such as DoubleBuffer are there to be set in any way
you like. You're not "overriding " the property you are just setting its value
to what you want it to be.

You are confusing overriding with setting a value. Yes you are "overriding "
the value in a sense but in C#/C++ the word "override" means to replace the
implementation of a function/method/property.

It's fine to set the value of the property - that's what it's there for.

WebBrowser - VBScript Issues

by: Trevor Fairchild | last post by:

I'm trying to have VB6 write an html file during run-time, with some VBScript functionality.

I have gotten almost everything to work - I put in a function to simply disable the right-click option of the browser, but none of the other functions work. If I copy the source data out of...

CSharp Resize flicker and flashing of WebBrowser TreeView controls

by: Ian Stiles | last post by:

I have tried everything under the sun to get rid of horrible flashing and flickering that occurs on a CSharp form when the form hosts a TreeView or WebBrowser control and then you resize the form. Here is what I've tried so far: 1. Turning off CS_VREDRAW and CS_HREDRAW in both the parent form and a subclass of the control via the "override CreateParams" property (these values were already off). 2. Setting various styles and handling...

Form Resize Flickering problem

by: Chris Murphy via DotNetMonster.com | last post by:

Hi all, I've been struggling with this problem for a while: I have a form (my main form) that contains quite a few controls, and I've been experiencing a lot of flickering when I resize the form. I've seen applications that preform the resize by showing only a resizeable rectangle of the form, allowing the user to resize at will. When they release the form it redraws at the new size (as opposed to live redrawing as the form is being...

ShowInTaskBar WebBrowser Control Problem Still in 2.0

by: Mitchell Vincent | last post by:

I can't find the post now but several months back I posted a problem I was having using the WebBrowser control when trying to have a systray icon pop back up a window that hadn't been shown in the taskbar. I was doing ShowInTaskbar = False - and someone here told me that wouldn't work because the browser control was ActiveX still and that ShowIOnTaskbar = false actually destroyed the window. So, I tried 2.0 Beta and the same thing happens...

WebBrowser Object a little buggy in .NET 2.0

by: RWF | last post by:

I have been experimenting with the new WebBrowser object in .NET 2.0. One thing I noticed is that on resize it flickers like crazy. The docs state that the protectd DoubleBuffer property, when set to true, should prevent this. I did that and still a lot of flickering going on. Suggestions, comments, or insight on what exactly I could be messing up?
