Basic question.

I have a VCL object, TStringGrid, that I want to apply a number of 
changes to, but I don't want to see the screen flicker.  Or in 
otherwords, I want all my changes made, and then the screen redrawn.

I can accomplish that to some extent by setting Visible to false and , 
doing all the updates, and then setting it to true, but that does cause 
the screen to become invisible briefly.

Is there a better way that doesn't make the component invisible, and 
thus flicker?
