Hello Raphael,
I unfortunately do not have a breadth of experience with the DC object as
some on this list, but having seen this I can at least offer some tid-bit of
possible use. I would say that the one means I can come to think of is
ignoring repaint wherein there is no cause to redraw this particular
rectangle. Ok, this sounds a simple concept, but I realize this may not be
as easy to complete in reality. This of course, offers no help with the
issue of the bad flicker during dragging, but it offers some to the regular
usage flickering.
