>Just as a comment, I do use .LockScreen, but I've never put it in the .Init() event. Plus, I've found that .LockScreen doesn't really get rid of "screen flicker" or whatever you want to call it so even wonder about it's value at all.

The only time I had to do a workaround in order to avoid a screen flicker is when I have some grids which contains some relational controls like combos. When this is the case, the form Refresh() is called after the Activate() event. What I did is to move the form to -2000 and bring it back in the GotFocus() event.

I replaced the relational combos with a view and the screen flicker is gone. It was then able to remove the -2000 code.
