Winforms: SuspendLayout/ResumeLayout is not enough?

by

We’ve seen this problem too.

One way we’ve seen to “fix” it is to completely suspend drawing of the control until we’re ready to go. To accomplish this, we send the WM_SETREDRAW message to the control:

// Note that WM_SetRedraw = 0XB

// Suspend drawing.
UnsafeSharedNativeMethods.SendMessage(handle, WindowMessages.WM_SETREDRAW, IntPtr.Zero, IntPtr.Zero);

...

// Resume drawing.
UnsafeSharedNativeMethods.SendMessage(handle, WindowMessages.WM_SETREDRAW, new IntPtr(1), IntPtr.Zero);
