Hi

I have two list boxes in a tab control. They keep flickering when I move the
mouse around. I have checked if there are any events triggerred when I move
the mouse but there weren't.

Why is this so and how do I overcome it?

Many thanks in advance
Richard
 
Hi Van

The form is just at the testing stage and have not been tested with other
pcs. Actually, I had encountered the problem before but couldn't overcome it
and used a subform instead. I think I will try it out on another pc and let
you know.

Thanks agani

Hi Van

It flickers on another pc as well. I think I'm going to lose a few hairs
looking for a solution...

Are you sure that there is no OnMouseMove defined for the detail section
of the form? Is there module code at all for the form?

I know you've probably looked at just about everything, but this is just
a thought.

I remember this issue back with I think A2K SR1. If you had the Tool Tip
property of the ListBox set to anything other than a zero length string
you would see the "flickering" as you described/

The solution was to either to install the latest Service Release and/or
clear the controls Tool Tip property.

Thanks for takng time to rply.

I just discovered most of , except one or two of the list boxes I use
flicker...

I think I have installed all the Service Release (How do I check?) and I
can't seem to find the Tool Tip Property.

Oh I am using Access 2003 SPI (does this help??)

Thanks again
Richard
 
You never mentioned you were using A2003.
Open your MDB
Go to the Tools menu. Select Options
Select the Forms/Reports TAB
UNcheck the "Use Windows Themed Controls on Forms option
Click on the OK button

IF that does not fix your issue then from Form Design view:
Right Click on one of the problem ListBox controls
Select Properties from the Drop down menu
Select the "Other" TAB
Click in the "ControlTip Text" control and delete the contents of this
control.
