Flicker Free Resize? 2

[Skute]

Hi,

Im having trouble with an application i wrote where by the resizing of the window is causing alot of flickering. Also, if i invalidate the whole window it causes a flicker. Is there any way of getting around these problems? Ive already used single buffering in my paint code to stop flickering when drawing, but now its the other 2 problems which im stuck on.

Regards

By default, windows will respond to the WM_ERASEBKGND message by painting the entire window with the background color. This message gets sent a lot when a window is resized or invalidated. So try catching this message, and have the message handler do nothing. This should eliminate the flicker, unless it is caused by the paint code itself.
