Without knowing exactly what you're doing, I assume you're using either MFC or Win32 C for this.

You probably want to do the resize on WM_SIZE message. I'm not sure where you're resizing the controls, but I think you're doing it while it's being resized, which is why it's causing the flicker.

Also, I'm thinking but I don't know, you could probably use the SetWindowPos function, and for the uFlags, have SWP_NOREDRAW. Though I'm not sure how great this would work for common controls.
