Hiding access window cause flickering

[Tim J La Fazia]

I have a number of images and controls that I hide and show often.

for example 10 images stacked ontop of eachother all but one are visible.

if myform.mytext=1 then myform.image1.visible=true
if myform.mytext=2 then myform.image2.visible=true

and so on.

everything works until I hide the access window. Then a flash becomes
apparent when my images change.

This is would be bareable if the image changes were not often but they are
at times often and quite rapid which looks horrible when the access window
is hidden.

let me be clear - hidding the access window is somehow the cause. If I run
the app without hiding the access window there isn't any flashing.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

TIA, Tim

p.s. it was suggested to me in an earlier post to turn painting off to
change the images and then turn it on after.

This does not work for two reasons;

1 each change needs to be shown
2 the entire form flashes instead of just the image when painting is turned
back on.

Try making thre controls invisible before you hide the window.
