1A simple resize should not cause noticeable flicker, what are you doing exactly? – Alex K. Mar 15 '12 at 12:29

Instead of formName.Repaint I tried with "DoEvents". It worked for me.
formCreateAndValidate.lblPgrsBar.Width = prgrsLblWidth
DoEvents

I'm updating a TextBox's DisplayAsHyperlink property on a form's OnCurrent event, and it does not seem to take effect. Calling DoEvents unfortunately does not resolve the issue. I will continue searching for a solution. – StockB Nov 08 '13 at 17:34

Instead of Repaint (which is slow indeed) I recommend using this pair of lines to refresh a control:
myControl.Visible = False
myControl.Visible = True
It is much faster. Invisible state is so short that it behaves very smoothly.
It also works for me where DoEvents doesn't. E.g. in a class that has WithEvents attribute to handle control's events and change its appearence. Hope it helps!
