.NET Forum / Windows Forms / WinForm General / March 2007Screen goes mental for a bit when resizing the form
Hi everyone, I have a windows form application that looks a little bit like outlook in that it has a menu system on the left and then the main area to the right has a horizontal splitter thing going on. Many of the controls are contained in panels, which are in turn contained in user controls. The problem is when the user resizes or maximises the form, the screen goes mental for a bit. Is there anyway I can prevent this from happening. I'd just like the whole thing to be a bit "cleaner" Many thanks Simon #1 What do you mean by "goes mental" Computing is an exact science.... #2 Are you doing your own layout or custom drawing?

In terms of it's mentalness, it flickers a lot and it seems that you can almost see the internal panels trying to resize themselves to take up more space. It's particularly prominent on larger moniters. Is there any way to reduce this? Many thanks Simon You should be able to disable the update while the form is being rezised. You might try using Suspend/ResumeLayout or Begin/EndUpdat. I made a quick look in the docs for how to detect the sizing but I didn't see an OnSizeChanging (etc) to override. There may be an event on the form or on Panel that you can handle for this, otherwise you might have to do it in mouse down/up handlers. HTH.
