Hi there,

I have a problem when syncronizing my listbox(client) from server. I use a delete all items and add new items from server to the listbox that cause flickering. Syncronization interval is 500milisecond. I can't use databinding because my listbox is customized(image support) and doesnot support data binding. how can i fix this problem? is there any other way for synchronizing?

Solution 1

Maybe you could call the listbox SuspendLayout before, and ResumeLayout after updating the ListBox?
Another thing that could help is not to fully clear the listbox but determine on the background which items have changed, deleted and added and update the listbox itself as less as possible to avoid the flickering.

Good luck!
