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(Contro lStyles.DoubleB uffer, True)
SetStyle(Contro lStyles.AllPain tingInWmPaint, 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
the new blue of
Office 2000 styles. This causes a lot of flickering, any ideas to reduce or
possible remove this so that the form appears fully formed. The form is an
inherited form so this may be another issue.

If the problem is confined to the form load event, then do Me.Hide at the
top and Me.Show at the bottom of the load event handler. This works for me
in all cases where the first draw of a form is clunky.
Hello AMercer,
YIKES.
Try using LockWindowUpdat e() at the beginning and end of the paint cycle.

I have a hex editor-type class that extends UserControl and paints its data
to a PictureBox. Basically the problem is that repainting it takes usually
between 60 and 80ms, which may seem pretty fast but is not good enough when
you have to repaint very frequently. For example, when you scroll the
control or select blocks of text quickly.
I have it paint its graphics to an offscreen Graphics instance, which I then

Hi, I'm having a problem with some code we're writting.
Our customer doesn't like windows forms style painting, so their
designer has created a skin and we have added it. There are many ways
in doing this, so it hasn't been a great problem.
The problem is when those forms, which are ChildForms in an MDI, get
minimized. I have no idea in how repainting the minimized form. I've
tried many things, and cannot paint by myself the minimized...

I have a form that im using to draw buttons onto, a click on the buttons
will cause the text on the buttons to change and some buttons will be hidden
, so im looking to stop the redraw on the form until I have finished making
these changes, to reduce the flicker. Can someone tell me how to do it ?
Thanks

Hi everybody
On my form I have a procedure, which moves some textboxes and buttons...
then it makes some validations... after this it moves the objects again.
So far so good... But now I have the problem, that the form flickes every
time I move an object.
Overriding onpaint, onbackgroundpaint and refresh won't help, because after
moving the object the last time i have to call mybase.refresh and release

I am trying to do some processing on a background thread while keeping the
UI painting. However, this is a generic server side call routine - and it
needs to block until the server side call completes. So the idea is, a
server side call begins, it gets spun off on another thread to keep the UI
painting - but, the code flow cannot return to the caller until the server
side call completes, because the caller expects the data.
The only way...

So I have a form, a dataset with a few table adapters (3 to be precise) and a datagridview.The datagridview has a lot of columns as checkboxes (30 columns are checkboxes per row).

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.

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,...
