flickering problrm

[ajaywinds]

Hi,

I have 2 dialog base applications having same background image. On startup both these applications will be diaplayed in full screen resolution.

I have another application to start both these components.
. Start first componet
. wait for 5 seconds
. Start Second application.

My problem is when the second application is displaying( whicjh has the same screen as first application ), it flickering.

Please provide some solutions( if its in GDI+ it will be very helpful ).

What is flickering? You show both windows fullscreen, so the second window will be the one that is only visible.

Hi Marc ,
thats right...
actually I need a smooth transtion from first window to second window. When the second screen starts to display a flickering occurs( even if the back grounds are same). I think now u got my problem.

How are you implementing this "smooth" transition?

Well if your just drawing 2 windows then they are both being redrawn on screen or swapped they will flicker. The whole point of double buffering is to draw the image in memory first so when its drawn you cant see it. The computer cant draw and redraw an image instantly so you will see something no matter how fast it is unless you buffer in memory.

I not completely sure what your talking about but why not just double buffer both windows? then neither one will flicker if thats what you want. You can swap them until your hearts content.
