Flicker with masks

I am bliting directly to the form
like this

VB Code:

BitBlt Form1.hDC, 0, 0, 80, 65, _
    Picture2.hDC, 0, 0, vbSrcAnd
    
    BitBlt Form1.hDC, 0, 0, 80, 65, _
    Picture1.hDC, 0, 0, vbSrcPaint

It flickers like crazy..

I am using masking (?) but dont know how to incorporate a backbuffer.


Any tricks?


heres the project

I have not done BitBlitting in a while but I remember there being an Autoredraw on the form and needs to be off? Or is it On? Try then both. I believe it has something to do with AutoReDraw!

little better but still flickers

Edit

actually its the labels that are flickering now.

?:confused:

hmmm, I've never used both labels and blitted. Play with there AutoReDraws. Worst case make a blitting character set so you can blit your words instead of using labels.

Not sure, I'm not at home so I can't try any of my suggestions! Sorry!
Cheers!
