Flashing Text Boxes...

[Grandpa0594]

This is a problem that has been haunting me for some time now. Regardless of the number of controls on my forms, when I show another form on top of an existing form or when I display a frame with controls on it on top of a form, when I remove the form or frame on top, before the uppermost form disappears completely, there is always a brief flash of the controls under the form that was on top. (Normally the text boxes underneith). The same thing happens when I display the CommonDialog box and then remove. I've tried LockWindow on both the top and bottom form with no success. Any ideals???? Thanks...

Have you made sure you're running the latest video drivers?

And.. how many controls are we talking about? A hundred or more will take a moment to repaint, causing a "flash".

Can you duplicate this behavior with a new project and if so can you give us the parameters.
