How to stop window redrawing untill I am ready? 1

[TimSNL]

Hello all.

I have a lot of components I need to manipulate on a form.

Is there a way I can stop everything on the from redrawing itself untill I am ready, and then just do one flicker free redraw.

Thanks for your help

you could try the lockwindowupdate system API function.

Also certain object (like Ttreeview) allow you to specify the start and end of a batch update.
