Windows Form - Hiding intermediate actions.

[Guest]

In Microsoft Access, I use

Application.Echo False
......code that causes form to flash
Application.Echo True

to hide intermediate actions while a form is visible. I cannot find an
equivalent command in VB.Net. Specifically, I am changing tabs on the form
and I see significant flashing before reaching the final view.

Thank you for any help.

If you want to disable .NET's layouting mechanism:

\\\
Me.SuspendLayout()
....
Me.ResumeLayout()
///
