Edit Question
Title
Body
There are plenty of articles addressing flicker in Windows Forms. The majority recommend setting DoubleBuffered = true or setting a bunch of ControlStyle flags. However, none of these help reduce a TextBox flickering. Here are a couple of related questions: How to double buffer .NET controls on a form? How to eliminate flicker in Windows.Forms custom control when scrolling? To reproduce the issue, create a new WinForms project, add a TextBox , enable multi-line, disable word-wrap, add a bunch of text, set Anchor to Left+Right+Top+Bottom. Now run and resize. The text flickers. For text boxes inside a couple of nested TableLayoutPanel s the flicker on resize is even worse. Applying the solutions proposed in the above questions at best do not fix the flicker; if I get experimental and set the protected ControlStyle on TextBox I can break it completely (by enabling UserPaint ) but not eliminate the flicker. So, is there any way at all to fix the flickering of the text in a TextBox?
