I have made a form that contains about 60 buttoncontrols, 7 panels and 10 textboxes.

What happens when I drag around this Form etc.. is that the controls flickers very much.

How is it possible to reduce this flickering.

Thank you...

When you refer to Form, do you mean you are using the VC++/.Net framework. If this is the case, you can try simply setting the DoubleBuffered property (protected member I believe).

Yes I use the VC++ Express Edition 2008.
I have tried to put this in the Load event of the form but when I do that the whole desktop is flickering also with all folders and files that I have there and the form is flickering even more.

I wonder if that is the correct way to do that. This was the best thing I could find on google that compiled.
I have also tried to put the DoubleBuffered property to true for the Form, with the same problem, it actually gets worse.

(To mention, I have about 250 buttoncontrols on the form)

Perheps I would do this in any other way ?

Control::SetStyle(ControlStyles::OptimizedDoubleBuffer, true);
