I agree that flicker exist in the groupbox when using augmentedResize.rex and
basicResize.rex, but as Staffan say "..hardly notice any flicker, at least not
so that it's disturbing in any way"
Also flickering is only there if you have the flag "show window content while
dragging" set, if this flag is unset there is no flicker at all (when unset
windows just outline the window size and repainting is done when sizing is
ended)
If this flag could be set for individual windows/dialogs, one could decide to
use that in the case there is to much flickering, for now it's a global Windows
option I Believe.
On the other hand when using gbStationary.rex (stationary/fixed groupbox) I see
no flicker at all, independent if the above flag is set or unset.
Your statement, ''don't use "groupbox" in resizible dialogs'' is only valid if
groupbox also is resized?. Altough the flicker is hardly noticed ( this on i3,
2.13 MHz 8 Gb Ram)
My feeling is when the groupbox is fixed in size it's OK to use them without
any flicker and the same for static controls and maybe a note in the manual
what can be expected and how to circumvent if needed.

hex,
You can use groupboxes in resizable dialogs. But, in the current
implementation, there is some flicker. You can see it in the
augmentedResize.rex example. When you size the dialog, you can see the text of
the groupbox flicker. The alternative, will not draw the controls inside of the
group box correctly. And is very, very much worse.
So, for the augmentedResize.rex dialog, you would have to decide. If the group
box flicker is acceptable, then you can use the groupbox. If it is not
acceptable, then you would need to design the dialog without a group box.
the same for static Controls.

What I'm proposing is to allow the programmer to specify if the static control
should be handled like the group box, or not. That way, if your dialog has
static controls and seems fine to you, then you would leave things alone. If
Staffan's dialog look bad with the text painted in the wrong place, he could
turn on static handling is the same as group box handling. Maybe an attribute
in the ResizingAdmin:
treatStaticLikeGroupBox = .true
