Richtextbox control question

[Chris]

Is there anyway to create similar behaviour to BeginUpdate and EndUpdate in
a richtextbox control? I've seen a few work arounds on the net but they use
unmanaged code.

Any help would be appreciated,

Chris

I think that unmanaged code ('SendMessage' + 'WM_SETREDRAW') is the way to
go.

I'll have to try it that way then. I figured referencing windows dlls would
stop any possible crossplatform distribution?

It would, but currently other operating systems than Windows do not fully
support Windows Forms at all...

That's true. Perhaps I was being overoptimistic Would such a fix work
with all versions of windows or only xp etc?

I assume it should work with all Windows versions supported by the .NET
Framework.
