CommonControls (Replacement of the MS common controls)

[Krool]

Update released.

The performance of the ToolBar has been increased.
This was achieved by internally doing at some points (if applicable) a invalidation instead of a refresh.

Found out how to avoid the screen flicker.
When I comment out this:

.TextAlignment = TbrTextAlignBottom

then no flicker occurs.

Changing .TextAlignment will cause re-creating of the control. During the re-creation LockWindowUpdate is used:

Private Sub ReCreateToolBar()
Dim Locked As Boolean
With Me
Locked = CBool(LockWindowUpdate(UserControl.hWnd) <> 0)
[...]
If Locked = True Then LockWindowUpdate 0
.Refresh
End With

Maybe LockWindowUpdate does cause a screen flicker in your particular app, just a guess.

Solution could be to set the .TextAlignment already at design-time to the wanted value.

What is the possibility of getting a multicolumn Combobox in the queue? Or is there one already there?

You mean something like this ?
