Children controls and form flicker

[Jon Pope]

I'm programmatically adding controls to a form. The issue I'm seeing is
that I can see the controls lay themselves out on the form during runtime.
I'd rather not see this. I've used the form.SuspendLayout()/ResumeLayout()
in hopes that this would hide the child controls' initialization, but that
doesn't seem to help.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers, Jon

Do you create them in form_load?

BTW, I wouldn't expect SuspendLayout to do this, AFAIK all it does it stop
the controls being moved around on the form. Maybe the order in which you
execute your statements would fix the problem, add them to the controls
collection last.
