How to double buffer .NET controls on a form?

Question

How can I set the protected DoubleBuffered property of the controls on a form that are suffering from flicker?

Answer 1

nobugz gets the credit for the method in his link, I'm just reposting. Add this override to the Form:

protected override CreateParams CreateParams
{
    get
    {
        CreateParams cp = base.CreateParams;
        cp.ExStyle |= 0x02000000;
        return cp;
    }
}

This worked best for me, on Windows 7 I was getting large black blocks appearing when I resize a control heavy form. The control now bounce instead! But it's better.
