flashing controls suck!

i am working on a game... and it updates images coordinates often, this causes them to flash. I used to always see this tip somewhere on this site that showed how to prevent this.., but i can't find it... does anyone know how to prevent controls from flashing when they update?

thanks

Try the LockWindowUpdate API function.

Code:

---

Private Declare Function LockWindowUpdate Lib "user32" (ByVal hwndLock As Long) As Long

---

To lock it, pass the handle of the window you wish to lock

Code:

---

LockWindowUpdate hwnd

---

And to unlock it, pass 0

Code:

---

LockWindowUpdate 0

---

the images that are updating are also moving... when i use the LockWindowUpdate, they don't move
