Form Resize Flickering problem

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 resized) -- this might
have been legacy VB6 stuff -- is there a way I can duplicate/enable this
feature for my resizeable forms? If anyone could point me in the right
direction or provide some samples of implementations I would greatly
appreciate it!

I've seen several posts from people who have seen this flashing in TreeView's when resizing a form. I've noticed it in my app, but only in the child windows. For example, my main form has a splitter with a TreeView and I do not get the flickering with it. I created a new Form based Windows app. Added a TreeView (dock left), then a splitter and a property grid on the right (dock fill). For this test, I added a panel and button at the...

Hi everyone, I have a DataGrid that displays data on a dialog application. When the dialog is resized, the datagrid keeps the same shape, We would need the datagrid to keep a relative shape compared to the rest of the dialog when the user resizes it. Any ideas on how to do this? Thanks!

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...

Well, to start, I would like to say that I read many of things available online to overcome the notorious flickering problem that all programmers face when trying to draw, resize, or even drag somethings on any form. I started my project trying to dissect the screen into 4 quadrant using the mouse position to draw the dissection lines, however it turned out to be a very challenging job and I can get through with the thing by using a form and...

Hi all I have a MDI Container Form, with one label control on the Background of this container form. When I now open a child form, this form is behind the label ... and this looks ugly ... :-)) When I set the label with "SendToBack", it completely disapears. I also tried to set the child form like "BringToFront" but this also does not help.

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,...
