I have the similar issue, if had get solution plz post here, I have developed a web application using DevExpress componet. Most of the controls used in the application are DevExpress Component. I use ActiveX object (which also use DevExpress Component to develop it) onside splitter pan. My Problem is when I click any component(image,button, dataGrid Row) to do something/to fire respective event and mouse over on splitter bar then the activeX object kept inside splitter pan is flicker horribly and the flickering stops when mouse out from the component. But when the splitter pan is collapsed and the activeX object is hidden then every click action on the page works fine. What is the problem??? Thanks Sharad Subedi

Hi, Thanks for the reply. I've already tried BeginUpdate/EndUpdate and AddRange. However, each of these still repaint the whole control causing a flicker. The setup I have is quite unusual. On a normal winform application both these approaches are successful. However, I have an activeX user control written in C# containing the listview and have exposed methods and events through COM. The activeX control is displayed on a web page using the tags. This has been successful using the BeginUpdate/EndUpdate approach and .NET 1.1 where only a slight flicker was visible. However, now we are updating our desktops to include .NET 2.0 and .NET 1.1. This seems to exagerate the flickering hence why I have take my approach to reduce the flickering. Thanks again Peter

If you're using .NET 2, use a ToolStrip[^] control and add a ToolStripTextBox and ToolStripComboBox to it. /ravi My new year's resolution: 2048 x 1536 Home | Music | Articles | Freeware | Trips ravib(at)ravib(dot)com

Thanks for your reply :-D I'm using .NET 1.1 so will try the System.Windows.Forms.ControlPaint.DrawCheckBox approach. I'll also have a look for the controls you talked about too.

<I though GAC stood for "Global *Assembly* Cache"?> Precisely my point, hence why I asked if this was good practice and if there was a "good" way of referencing configuration information from the GAC. If the only solution is to hard reference the config file then that is what I have to do. However, if there is another way, then I would really be interested. Btw - thanks for the reply ;) P.
