Stop blinking on textbox or other refreshes
i have a digital time clock that displays at the top of my screen and runs on top of all applications. i have noticed with this program and many others that when you refresh something on a regular time-base (every second)...it blinks every once in a while.
why does it blink sometimes and not all the time? is there anyway to stop it from blinking.
i have also made many progress bars by using a colored textbox lying within a picturebox. when the progress goes up, it blinks. this is just another example.
your help is appreciated...thanks,
jeremy

Forgot to mention, it really varies depending on your CPU power, the more powerful your computer is, and the more resources you have free, the less that flicker becomes evident.

the thing is, this clock needs to update every second because it is relevant to a computer timecard, and every second is important to an employee. i'll just split this one.
