LockWindowUpdate VB 2005

[Paul Remblance]

I have just converted a project from VB 2003 to VB 2005 and the
LockWindowUpdat e no longer works!

Friend Declare Function LockWindowUpdat e Lib "user32.dll " (ByVal
hWndLock As Long) As Boolean
LockWindowUpdat e(Me.Handle.ToI nt32)
LockWindowUpdat e(0)

Any other ideas how to lock the window in VB 2005?

I have a tab control where I need to 'flick' between tabs in the background.
Seeing each page flash as it goes through is annoying.
Tried: SuspendLayout() with the form and tab control which didn't work.

\\\
Private Declare Function LockWindowUpdat e Lib "user32.dll " ( _
ByVal hWndLock As IntPtr _
) As Boolean
....
LockWindowUpdat e(Me.Handle)
///

Note that 'Long' is a 64-bit type in VB.NET opposed to VB6 where it was a
32-bit type.

Many thanks, reached the same conclusion (but a bit slower!)

Friend Declare Function LockWindowUpdat e Lib "user32.dll " (ByVal
Friend Declare Function LockWindowUpdat e Lib "user32.dll " (ByVal
hWndLock As IntPtr) As Boolean
LockWindowUpdat e(Me.Handle.ToI nt64)
LockWindowUpdat e(0)

hWndLock As Long to hWndLock As IntPtr
Me.Handle.ToInt 32 to Me.Handle.ToInt 64

Also tried your LockWindowUpdat e(Me.Handle) which also worked.

You do not need 'Me.Handle.ToIn t62'. Handles are 32-bit on 32-bit systems
and 64-bit on 64-bit systems, which is what 'IntPtr' is designed for. So I
strongly recommend to use the solution I posted!
