DoubleBuffer in Window Form Controls...
-
I have create a custom Windows form control and enabled the built in double buffering with:
this.SetStyle(ControlStyles.DoubleBuffer & ControlStyles.UserPaint & ControlStyles.AllPaintingInWmPaint, true);but this does not help my flicker problem at all... From what I have read that will work in controls, Right?.?. Joshua Guy

DOH! Well that was part of my problems, but even with that it still flickers like crazy. I have that enabled in my Windows Form control and the parent form. Any other suggestions? Joshua Guy

Are you doing all your drawing during the Paint event? Thats the only time that the double-buffering is actually used. James Simplicity Rules!

It's all in the Paint event. To make things worse. I copied and pasted all my code into a form and it works like a charm. I'll dig in more into the control but something isn't right with that. Joshua Guy

DOH! It was so stupid I won't even admit what I did. Joshua Guy

:-D But you must tell us, if not for us do it for the children; think of the children who may fall into the same trap you did. ;P James Simplicity Rules!

If you must know. I posted the message with the following code: this.SetStyle(ControlStyles.DoubleBuffer & ControlStyles.UserPaint & ControlStyles.AllPaintingInWmPaint, true); Which of course would not enable the double buffering. Neil points out my stupid mistake(which I originally had in my other test form, but a monkey came along and changed all the |'s to &'s as a nasty joke, so as you see this was clearly the monkeys fault not mine) this.SetStyle(ControlStyles.DoubleBuffer | ControlStyles.UserPaint | ControlStyles.AllPaintingInWmPaint, true); So I see Neil'd observation and hit myself. Well evidently I hit my self so hard that when I went to change it I went into the source of my dummy app in which I was testing the control. So the parent form was double buffered correctly. Thinking that I had enabled it in my control I was sad. So I left it alone until now. And after a break and looking in my code again I relize that the monkeys &'s had not be changed to |'s... If it weren't for the monkey I would have been set. Joshua Guy
