FrmHideObject() sets the usable attribute false, so it won't redraw. I then tried FrmHideObject(), FrmShowObject() and CtlDrawControl(), but (surprising to me) this caused the entire form to be repainted (i.e., I only did this for one control on the form as a test, but the entire form was updated and blinked).
