Hi!

Open Windows explorer, View->Folder Options, View type. Find the option "Show Window Content while dragging". Switch it off. Now try to move or resize windows.

As you see, this is Windows feature - when yoiu darg or resize window and this option switched on (it is on by default), Windows try to refresh everything on the way of the window to keep the entire screen picture as good refreshed as possible.

YES, at slower computers it is even worse. however, users always have an option to switch this feature off.

In VFP this could be also specially slwo when you have a code in the Resize event, because when mentioned feture is on, Resized event in called for each little movement of mouse during resizing to refresh the VFP form content dynamically as it resized.

Hope this helps to make this thing clear ;)
