Stop repainting of screen temporarily

[seaweed]

I am creating a program in which I have to move images around the screen to test for a condition, then move the images back to where they were to start with (its a chess program...have to see if player is in check before allowing the move).

Is there any way I can turn off the redrawing of the screen/form/images while the pieces are moving and then turn it on again when they're done? Thanks for your help!

Have you tried turning you form's ClipControls property to false?

Thanks for the idea, but it didn't work!

Try using subclassing (Im not sure how to do it properly) and intercepting the windows paint message sent to the form.
