Forms :: Double Buffer A Form, Aside From Setting "Double Bufferd" To True
Oct 27, 2009
I've asked this question before, and so have many before me, i have done extensive research on the topic and stil no help. Maybe this is some kind of secret info. shared only amongst top programmers. Bt how do you really, trully double buffer a form, aside from setting "Double Bufferd" to true, which doesn't work in most cases, I want to know how do companies lyk Microsoft and Symantec, prevent flashes on big applications such Word and Norton.

To Double Buffer or not to Double Buffer this is the Question!I have a form with Protected Overrides Sub OnPaint that sets forms background to a gradient fill ,on top of that is a transparent richtext box.
Ok. now here`s the problem ,If i enable forms double buffering the transparent Rtb doesn't flicker when forms resized. but the forms drop shadow does flicker! ,its a boarderless form using CS_DROPSHADOW to draw the drop shadow Now if i disable double buffering the forms drop shadow doesn`t flicker but the transparent Rtb does ,any one have a clue how to get both to work in harmony !

I've been trying to get the double buffer function working in VB.NET GDI+ for a space invaders game using the following command.[code]But because I am using a separate draw routine attached to a class it doesn't seem to work:[code]The aliens draw correctly but the images are very stuttery and double buffering doesn't seem to work.

change my MDIClient's background image I've decided that painting over it is the best way to go (because of scaling). Problem is, when the form (and the MDIClient) get scaled/resized, there's massive flicker even with the ControlStyles and form double buffering.
Public Class frmMain
Dim BGimage As Image
Sub New()

I have a htpc project that I am working on. The main program loads dlls which are basically other win forms. On each of these forms, including the main program, I use a picturebox (double buffered picturebox) for the background image and then draw everything on it by hand. Whenever I go from the main program to the dll, I get a weird flicker. It looks like it is the previously used double buffer. Is there any way to clear the background double buffer before the flicker?

I have a situation where I am handling both single & double mouse click events on a form. In both cases something has to be loaded, however when a double click occurs, I do not wish to execute the code attached to the single click event.Is there a way to intercept the mouse click's and check if double or single and then execute the right event appropriately?

I have a htpc project that I am working on. The main program loads dll plugins which are basically other win forms. On each of these forms, including the main program, I use a picturebox (a double buffered picturebox) for the background image and then draw everything on it by hand. Whenever I load the form from the dll and show it, I get a weird flicker. It looks like it is the previously used double buffer. Is there any way to clear the background double buffer before the flicker? Or am I going in the wrong direction?
Here's a couple of videos of the problem:

Notice the black screen with the white lines on it or the flash of the desktop after I click "Movies." How do I get rid of that?

For greater accuracy I should use a Decimal instead of a Double ( so I've been told ). Why then have Microsoft chosen to use DOUBLE for most of the functions that return a floating point value in the Math Class?

I have a stack panel with 10 borders in it. the application performs the following operations:
1) it takes the last border and set its width = 0
2) It remove the border form the last position and it inserts this border in the first position
3) Once is in the first position a double animation increases its width to 50
No it works well for 10 times then it become impossible to set the width of the border to 50, it stay to 0. It looks like when you run a double animation the width property becomes blocked and you can not change it. Is there a way to unblock it?

When i use VB6 i get the following outputs
961.605 * 100 = 96161
936.495 * 100 = 93650
929.295 * 100 = 92929
NOW..... When i do the above in vb.net 2005 i get the following
961.605 * 100 = 96160
936.495 * 100 = 93650
929.295 * 100 = 92930
How can i get the same output as the VB results. And i have tired it ! Type conversions, math functions, everything i can think of to get the same VB6 output !

I have written a program that if all if statements are true then it closes out with me.close() without displaying the form. If a if statement is false, then the form shows with some text as to why it failed.The program works perfectly....until I change the form setting "top most" to true, if the if statements are true, instead of the form closing as it should, I receive ObjectDisposedException was unhandled Cannot access a disposed object. Object name: 'Form1'.

If I try to display a command line argument that has double quotes around, the double quotes are always stripped off. How can I avoid this?
for example, the argument is "c:xx.txt" and this displays c:xx.txt instead Console.WriteLine((My.Application.CommandLineArgs(4)))

I've been just making random programs trying to get the hang of the new language this time I was making a leap frog game where it switches back and forth beetween frogs every time a button is pressed. It also checks if the frog can land in the text box above the button pressed, if there is another frog there a message box will pop up saying sorry space is filled other wise the frog should land there.
[code]...
The error message says "Conversion from string "frog1" to type 'Double' is not valid." I understand what a double is but I've tried And If and that causes a bunch of errors.My Question is whats wrong with this cod and how can I make a double if statement???PS I did try to make an array to shorten this but thats in a different fourm will post URL later

I wanna perform a function like this. When you save a record, I need the primary key of that record to be auto-generated (X001). Say, when you create a new record and save it, it should be saved like X002 automatically.So to test this before I implement that on this project I'm working on, I created this little program.form.png
All its supposed to do is, when you click on the OK button it shows a code that is fetched from a database table. (X001). Then when you click on it ober and over again. The number should increase. X002, X003, X004... so on.Here's my code
Imports System.Data.SqlClient
Public Class Form1
Private Sub btnOK_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnOK.Click[code]....
But when I run it, it throws this conversion error.exception error.png.I know its pretty straight forward so I tried to correct it with what I know

Ok i am making a game (based on windows95)....i have it going good so far.I have it so you can open notepad (this is in a panel and its not the real system notepad)You can click save document and it saves the text it in a hidden textbox with a random filename (defined by user) and it saves it in a listveiw (windows explorer type thing).The idea is i want it to be so that if you double click the listveiw item it will open the textfile (text stored in a hidden textbox) Heres my code which is attempting to do this but i just can't think how to link them.
Private Sub btnsaveassave_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnsaveassave.Click
Dim savedfile As New TextBox
mycomputerfiles.Items.Add(txtfilename.Text & ".txt")[code].....

I have successfully managed to add a handler for doubleclick and click events the problem i have is that when i add both together it only seems to work with the click event and not the double click. where I could bee going wrong? Iam using VS2008 .NET 3.5 my code looks a bit like this :
Public Class Class1
Dim WithEvents picturebox1 As PictureBox
Private Sub Brochure_Creator_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load

I have this:vb Private Sub ImageShop_DoubleClick(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.DoubleClick openFile.ShowDialog()End Sub Which is supposed to show my dialog box when someone double clicks on the form, but that doesn't work.
I have a menu item that is single click, and that works fine. Why doesn't the double click work when someone double clicks on the form?

I would like to know if Visual Studio does have a setting where you can choose whether it should write nombers like 0.00000127 in scientific notation or not? I am writing such doubles to file but VB2008 writes them in scientific notation. If I treat these numbers as decimals then it writes them correctly, but I also have to take care of performance as I'm writing lots of numbers.

i have been working on an app, that remains just my preset sizes. recently, i have discovered that by double clicking the form title bar, even w/the formborderstyle being set to fixedtoolwindow, the form still maximizes and all of my controls remain in the top/left corner.. not a good view.. so, i set the maximum size of the form, and now when double clicking it, moves it to the top/left of my desktop.. not a good result. here is a quick sample to start w/.
Public Class Form1
Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
[Code]....
how do i permanently block the double click on the title bar, to have no effect on the form? i do not want to end up w/having to create a borderless form just to avoid this..

Working in the interface I find it very frustrating that when you double click something in a form, it automatically enters code that you have to delete, then exit out when you were only trying to single click. Is there any way to disable this double click feature? Or possibly change it so if you press CTRL and click it automatically brings up the Code

I've created a datagrid and made it read only, I want to double click it and it will open a new form with all the data so I can edit it and press save.
I have a form called New client where you add the name address etc and press save.
I want the fields already on the add client form to fill in the data from the row you double click on the grid.
