I have a routine that adds and removes buttons and controls to a form. I
don't like the way they flicker on and off the screen.

The TreeView control has a method, BeginUpdate, which disables any redrawing
of the tree view.

Is there a similar method for forms?

Thanks

try me.SuspendLayout and me.ResumeLayout.

this suppresses any layout events between these two calls.

Notice that this will only prevent .NET's layout logic (anchoring,
docking) from doing its work.

you could also use the API call to LockWindowUpdate... code example below:
-----------------------------------------
Declare Function LockWindowUpdate Lib "user32" (ByVal hWnd As Long) As Long

Public Sub LockWindow(ByVal hWnd As Long)
LockWindowUpdate(hWnd)
End Sub

Public Sub UnlockWindow()
LockWindowUpdate(0)
End Sub

-----------------------------------------

Paul.
