    Arrow 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
