Because all controls on a form are autonomous windows double bufferng the
form has no effect on the flickering of the controls.
The short answer is no. You may however like to look at options such as
suspending layout for a short time while resizing is going on.

Yeah I noticed that making a form double buffered has not impact on the
child controls.
But is there a good reason for not being able to call Control.SetStyle()
from outside the
Control class?

I suppose that from a class design point of view the style was made
protected so that external classes couldn't fundamentally change the drawing
system without the control providing a specific mechanism for doing so.
Those styles can have far-reaching consequences for drawing and mouse input.
