    Avoid flickering in dynamically rendered control in Windows App

    Posted on February 22nd, 2009 by Rajeshwaran S P

    Here is a tip shared by Kannan, a colleague of mine on how to avoid flickering when rendering controls dynamically in a Windows Application.

    Enable double buffering, so that the flickering does not happen.

    Add the following after the ‘InitializeComponent’ method.

    1
2
3

          SetStyle(ControlStyles.UserPaint, true);
      SetStyle(ControlStyles.AllPaintingInWmPaint, true);
      SetStyle(ControlStyles.DoubleBuffer, true);

    That’s it.

      Good tip. Flickering is quite a bothersome issue indeed in windows application programming.
