Form Flickering so badllly in vb .net , plzzzzzzzzz help

[sajin]

Hi All...

I designed a form ( say Frm2) which contains arround 40 labels , 3
panels, 20 textboxes
I call this form from another form( say Frm1) , i have a button in Frm1
which calls the Frm2 on click event , the form (Frm2) is flickering so
badly , i tried many ways to resolve this issue , but the same problem
exists

What i tried was as follows

1. Double Buffering
2. ResumeLayout
3.Show and Hide form
4.Used the LockWindowUpdate API


Plzzzz Help
i am using VS 2005 vb .net

Thanks in advance
Sajin

Do your panels and labels have a transparent background colour?

 

[sajin]

We have controls on panel , and all labels are having transparent
background colour

sajin,

Use grid control instead of many labels and textboxes.

Redrawing trnsparent backgrounds is quite complicated for windows because it
has to copy the background etc. I have the same problem.
