Windows Form - Hiding intermediate actions.

In Microsoft Access, I use

Application.Ech o False
......code that causes form to flash
Application.Ech o True

to hide intermediate actions while a form is visible. I cannot find an
equivalent command in VB.Net. Specifically, I am changing tabs on the form
and I see significant flashing before reaching the final view.

Thank you for any help.

If you want to disable .NET's layouting mechanism:

\\\
Me.SuspendLayou t()
....
Me.ResumeLayout ()
///

For disabling updating:

The ASP page has multiple buttons, and when the user clicks different buttons, it will submit the form data to different URLs. My first approach was to use BUTTON type, and triggers javascript function to submit the form data. However, it didn't work properly and I changed to use SUBMIT type. <INPUT TYPE="BUTTON" NAME="action1" VALUE="Return to Main Search Page" onClick="action1()">

Dear All, I'm new to .NET and it seems that I'm terribly confused. I'm used to program windows applications using C++ and native API. I decided to try ..NET windows Form application. Of course, Visual Studio did everything for me and some empty form showed up on the screen upon starting the application. Then I incorporated really hardcore API calls such as RegisterClass and CreateWindow and implemented wndProc, like in old days. ...

Hi, I am creating a windows form, and when a specified event occurs (button click), I am hiding the windows form and opening a new windows form. When opening the new windows form and closing it, the main windows form would still be running in the background and never terminating. How can I terminate the old window form from the new created window. I hope someone out there understands my problem.

Using VB .NET 2003, I have a windows application that performs a series of file actions (copy, move, delete) but the actions are completing before the window is painted on the screen... how can I force the form to be painted on the screen first, then the actions start? Or should I pause the app for a few seconds while the form paints. Any suggestion woudl be appreciated!

I recently installed and started using VS2005 on a Windows XP Pro machine. When creating a new windows forms project I find that I am unable to hide any forms using the me.hide() or me.visible = False methods. As far as I can tell these methods are available and should work in VB2005. Any help and advise would be great as this is causing be a number of problems of two new projects I am working on. Many Thanks

Hello, I'm *just* delving into Windows forms-based programming without the benefit of any books, etc. I have a background in light ASP.NET work, so forgive me if this is a really basic question related to Windows GUI. I've created a "Form1.vb" file in my project, added a menustrip, etc. When a user clicks on a menu item, how do I get it to show a new form in the same window?

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".

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,...

Let's talk about the concept of autonomous AI software engineers and no-code agents. These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention.
