Controlling Refresh/Paint - General Q

[Sam Horton]

After updating a grid control, I'm having difficulty hiding the repaint (sic) visual effect.

If I implement .SuspendLayout() on the control and .ResumeLayout() it appears to help but not much....

Try calling gridControl.BeginUpdate prior to your updates, and then GridControl1.EndUpdate after your updates to see if this helps.

Perfect! Thank you, Clay!!

FWIW, here's what I have in total....

When applying formats only this sequence seems to work best:

gridControl.BeginUpdate()
.
.
[change formats]
.
.
gridConrolRefresh()
gridControl.EndUpdate()

When the entire grid is repopulated with new data, column names, orders and formats, this sequence works quite well:

gridControl.BeginUpdate()
gridControl.ReadOnly = False
gridControl.Cols.RestoreFrozen()
gridControl.ColCount = 0
gridControl.RowCount = 0
gridControl.UpdateScrollBars()
.
.
[apply all new data/headers/formats]
.
.
gridConrolRefresh()
gridControl.EndUpdate()

Very snappy. Nice control. :>
