Suspend and resume layout

[Brian Henry]

Hi,

What exactly does suspend and resume layout do? the MSDN docs say

"Resumes normal layout logic." but what does that mean? what is normal
layout logci? and what does it change by doing this before adding a control
to a form or panel? thanks

when suspended, paint messages will be ignored. when layout is resumed, they
will be processed again. used often to avoid control "flickering".

hth,

steve

The SuspendLayout and ResumeLayout methods are used in tandem to
suppress multiple Layout events while you adjust multiple attributes of
the control. For example, you would typically call the SuspendLayout
method, then set the Size, Location, Anchor, or Dock properties of the
control, and then call the ResumeLayout method to allow the changes to
take effect.

Steve is correct.. and there is more.

Layout logic - layout events that would normally fire and cause paint and
other actions to take place - is suspended.
