I have a form with specific minimum size 1100 x 800. My form has labels and textboxes in order to display all customers of a microsoft sql server database table.
I also have a user control class which is a navigation bar for the records.
The following code is my NavigationBar control class.
Here is my entire code of the form to display all Customers
As everything works fine, it's time to mention my problem now. During runtime when the user reducts the height of the form fastly to the minimum form height, I got a flickering to the textbox of navigation bar which is RcrdTxtBx in the NavBar class I added above until the user let the key mouse button up. What can I do to avoid that? Any help and explanation will be much appreciated. Thank you so much in advanced.
