Flickering Buttons: How Do I Get Rid Of Them?

[JonSea31]

Q2 form is then loaded and I see no flickering. What did I do differently from you?

Apologies for not answering. I presume you ran the form as an MDI form?

Maybe the flickering problem that prevails on my side is an unsolved mystery, but after some helpful advice maybe I don't even need an MDI form at all. I can just set the Cards1.frm as a parent form (not an MDI parent) and link the Q#.frms as its child forms.

I did post a thread over a week ago (it was titled "Parent vs. Child"), and user LaVolpe did suggest what to do, but it didn't seem clear enough. I used the code, but it didn't seem to get me anywhere. What do you suggest with regards to linking the Q# forms as the children and the Cards1 form as a parent to those children forms?

Also about your MDI forms. Do I understand correctly that you went that route just because you want to keep certain forms always in the same place? If that's true then that's totally unnecessary.

Thanks, I realized that after ThEiMp offered a suggestion, and the MDI form truly is unnecessary. I probably did that out of overanalyzing on my part. I did a test run without the MDI form and MDI children, and the flickering doesn't prevail.
