Hello,
In my application I am trying to load up some forms, however the loading of the forms is causing a lot of flickering. Are there any commands that can stop showing the repainting of the forms and thus make for a smoother running application.
mdiClient.DkMan ager.LoadConfig FromFile("c:\al pine\aims\Quote Historyconfig.x ml")
mdiClient.Activ eForm.Controls. Add(mdiClient._ filler)
'Controls.SetCh ildIndex(_fille r, 0)
mdiClient.DkMan ager.InnerContr ol = mdiClient._fill er
mdiClient.DkMan ager.InsideFill = True
mdiClient.DkMan ager.OuterContr ol = _statusBar
Thanx in advance

Hi Hobley,
You may introduce a Splash Screen ... and keep it visible till all the
resources have been loaded after which you may show the main form.
Thank You,

you could try this:
call SuspendLayout() on the form or control that you are loading and once you are
done loading everything thats on that form or control you can call ResumeLayout().
i haven't tried this but these methods are more or less out there for that purpose
only.
hope this helps..

However this does not quite answer the question, because the loading of the forms does not occur just at the start of the application but when you click on certain nodes of a treeview, so I can't keep loading splash screens all the time.
Anyhow what I need is some type of Echo off Echo On command that you used to get with vb6 or VBA , is there an equivalent in vb.net.
Thanx

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,

I am trying to stop the Delete confirm message from showing up on a delete

The code (THAT IS NOT WORKING) is:
Me.BeforeDelConfirm = "Form_BeforeDelConfirm"

How can I stop this message from showing programmatically.
I know I can uncheck the Record Changes Box in the edit/Find in the options

I wonder, performance wise, if it is better to have one form and repaint the
components on that form or to have mutiple forms and show and dispose them?

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,
I have a problem with a form loading a repainting. Because the form
uses an office 2000 styles, when it paints it causes a lot of flickering. The
standard advice is to set the following
SetStyle(ControlStyles.DoubleBuffer, True)
SetStyle(ControlStyles.AllPaintingInWmPaint, True)
However this seems to make no difference. When the form loads it originall
appears in the old grey colour of classic windows and then quickly changes to...

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,...
