Flickering in ListView control (OwnerDraw, Virtual)

Question

This question might be considered a follow-up to Flickering in listview with ownerdraw and virtualmode.

I\'ve got a ListView control in Virtu

Answer 1

I've seen this flickering issue with ListView control in any custom rendering event handlers (DrawItem, DrawSubItem). I tried BeginUpdate()/EndUpdate() and double buffering with no success. I think .NET triggers additional WM_PAINT to all columns to the right of the custom drawn column.

However I found this workaround to a single custom rendered column ListView. It works just fine!

1. In the columnheader editor, set the custom drawn column as the last column
2. Change the "DisplayIndex" of the position you want

This should solve the flickering in mouseover or run-time rendering.
