Question

In my application i am constantly moving from one control to another. I have created no. of user controls, but during navigation my controls gets flicker. it takes 1 or 2 se

Answer 1

I know this question is very old, but want to give my experience on it.

I had a lot of problems with Tabcontrol flickering in a form with overrided OnPaint and/or OnPaintBackGround in Windows 8 using .NET 4.0.

The only think that worked has been NOT USE the Graphics.DrawImage method in OnPaint overrides, in other words, when draw was done directly to the Graphics provided by the PaintEventArgs, even painting all the rectangle, the flickering dissapeared. But if call the DrawImage method, even drawing a clipped Bitmap, (created for double buffering) the flicker appears.

Hope it helps!
