Any suggestions on how one can make a form resize event update the screen smoother? I'm using VFP 9's new Anchor property and the repainting during a mouse based form resize can get pretty jerky.

Since all my control alignment and sizing is automatically handled by .Anchor properties, I don't see any place in my code to use LockScreen or the Win32 API equivalent (LockWindowUpdate).

Should I assume this behavior is just a fact of life of Windows applications in general?

This isn't a critical issue - just a disappointment in terms of application esthetics.

Any thoughts?
