folks, we want the contents of a window to be displayed all at once, but instead we are getting flickering as each subwindow is displayed in turn. i have created a window with 25 children windows (WC_BUTTON). although the original window is invisible (from a WinShowWindow(hwnd, FALSE)) when the children are created, when displaying the window (with WinShowWindow(hwnd, TRUE)) one can see the subwindows displayed in the order that they were created rather than the whole window coming up in one moment. this is somewhat annoying. we tried bracketing the window creation with WinEnableWindowUpdate(). we also tried creating the subwindows invisible and rendering them with WinSetMultWindowPos(). there was no effect. i would be happy if someone could suggest a better strategy for creating and displaying subwindows so that the display of all windows is smooth and immediate. thanks! --bw wohler@sap-ag.de
