Screen Flicker

[BaldrickThe4th]

It seems that this is the bane of our lives!!

 

On this occassion I want to add a tabpage to a tab control and supress painting until all the actions are complete. How do I do it?

 

Is there a way to suppress paint? It would be nce if suspendlayout prevented screen updates until a resumelayout.

 

Thanks for any suggestions

Maybe sending WM_SETREDRAW (using the Handle of the tab control)

you'd send the message with WPARAM = FALSE to the Tab control.

do your updating,

send the message again with WPARAM = TRUE

 

I've done this a lot with C++, but never with a tab control and not managed code.

when you do this the window is not repainted until you reset the redraw flag -

works wonders with the rich edit control.
