Hey!

I'm abit off a n00b with Visual Basic!

So I have create a Maze Game for a project in college, I have a player and a trap, both the trap and player move, but they both flash!

I read it's possible to double duffer them so they don't flash.

Does anyone have the code/method of doing this?

Thank's!

This is C# code but it may help you

// use double buffer to minimize flickering.
SetStyle(ControlStyles.ResizeRedraw, true);
SetStyle(ControlStyles.AllPaintingInWmPaint, true);
SetStyle(ControlStyles.UserPaint, true);
SetStyle(ControlStyles.DoubleBuffer, true);

I hope this helps heres the link to the site I got this from Detecting arrow key input (keypresses) - C# - Forums at ProgrammersHeaven.com.:)

This doesn't really help as I cant program in C# :(

Ya I know but C# it kinda close to VB anyway hope your using .NET because here's two links for double buffering in VB.NET.:)
