    Posted: 17 November 2004 at 2:48pm

I´m using tabbed mdi style in my Visual Basic 6 application. I noticed heavy flickering when I switch between the tabs especially on slow machines. It seems that the windows are kept cascading in the background and are maximized when switching to it.
Is there any way to prevent this behavior or to minimize the flickering effects ?

This is a bug in the current release.  It has been fixed and will be available in the next release.  Might want to call if you absolutely need this fix right now.

I don't know when the next release date is.  You must call or submit a request to see if a fix can be provided (You must have an active maintenance account).

Try to use code from our MDI sample:

for document object:

Private Sub Form_Load()
    Top = -200
    Left = -200
    Width = 31000
    Height = 31000
    Form_Resize
End Sub

bug mentioned by SuperMario appear only with hidden menubar.

I let VS convert the CommandBars MDI C# sample to 2005.  When switching between tabs all looks OK, there is a slight flicker when a new dockment is opened, but not once they have been displayed.  Is this what you are talking about?

Yes, it seems there were some changes in VS 2005.  We are looking into why it is doing this.

I´ve just tested the .net MDI sample included in version 10.3.1 with visual studo 2005 and the flickering still occurs ! Also the complete application window flickers when the visual style is changed !
Is there any fix or workaround for this ? It is very urgent, the customers don´t like this ...
