Humm - for some reason I'm not getting all messages to this list - anyone
else have that problem? The archive is also not up to date...
I missed the start of the thread - Anyway my 2 cents....
Garside Trevor say on win32::GUI Users list flicker problem when
resize
window can be remove by set default class style to 0.
In GUI.xs, RegisterClassEx :
wcx.style = 0; // CS_HREDRAW | CS_VREDRAW; // TODO (default class
style...)
It's look better when resize main window.
I don't have samples whith lot of flicker problem.
So, don't know if it's sufficient.
This is the 'fix' that I have been using for a while, and works well in most
simple cases. However you can get horrendous striping when reducing the size
of a window - the GUI Loft being one example. In my case I had one window
which suffered this problem, I just had to create a class with CS_HREDRAW |
CS_VREDRAW and suffer the flickering.

I like the idea of the "-noflicker" option (assuming you can turn it on and
off during runtime). If it works with no cost, then perhaps it could become
the default in future versions? Flicker free resizes are so *much* better.
Looking forward to seeing this fix in action.
Cheers.
