Implementing BeginUpdate in form?
-
Hi! Have created an OnScreenKeyboard in a VB.NET winform but the rendering of the buttons is so slow that when selecting a new keyboard layout you see the buttons disapear and come back one at the time. Although it's kind of a cool effect, it's not what I want for this prjoject. I'd like to implement a BeginUpdate and EndUpdate functions. Do I override the onpaint event or how can I achive this? -- modified at 3:16 Monday 20th February, 2006

You can try using the Form's
SuspendLayoutandResumeLayoutmethods. CallSuspendLayout, add all your controls to the FormsControlscollection, then callResumeLayout. You've run into the problem with using LOTS of controls on a form. They're slow to create and draw. RageInTheMachine9532 "...a pungent, ghastly, stinky piece of cheese!" -- The Roaming Gnome
