Win7
-
Sorry if this has been answered, but I couldn't find it. I'm in VS2005 but using win7 as my os. There are problems resizing forms (strange flickers) and the new win7 "tricks" (for instance, dragging the window off the top to maximize) don't work. Do I need to recompile with VS2008 or is there another solution? Thanks

OK, thanks, I see that a simple form does work OK. So I have done something to my form that stops it from working. Any ideas? Thanks again

Nice guess, but no -- I don't even have the handler instantiated. I tested the obvious stuff -- autoscalemode, autosize, etc, but it's not those either that I can tell.

OK, it's just the strange flashing that is what I think is a bug that only happens in Win7. Can anyone replicate this? Add a horizontal splitcontainer to a form. Then run the program and resize the form from the lower right corner of the form. The form will flash larger then move back to it's correct size. Thanks

Have you played with the control property DoubleBuffered? does that make a difference? Also there are BeginUpdate and EndUpdate methods that can be used when populating controls to prevent/reduce flicker.

It's not really flicker, it's erroneous drawing of the form on resize. You can see what I mean here: http://www.cstrader.com/untitled/untitled.htm Althouh it doesn't look like it on the video, the mouse that is dragging is actually in the corner of of the form As the form resizes it snsps big, then snaps back to normal size. The form has only a full-docked splitcontainer on it. Only happens in win7.

Is there a best way to report this issue to Microsoft? I simply cannot make it stop and it occurs on a form with only one control and no code. Thank you.
