This doesn't work, because if I add a command button with a click method of:

thisform.LockScreen = .t.
thisform.Refresh
this.LockScreen = .f.

As soon as the last line executes, I see the background image get redrawn, and the image flashes ...

The only thing that I can think of is that the image is in a PNG format and 39KB in size

Any ideas?


>>We are getting an annoying behaviour on our forms that we would like to stop. Each form is made up of a background image and then a PageFrame. Each time the form is refreshed, you can see the image flash on the form.

>>The background image is not a form.picture property but is acutally added in the forms init method.
