Hi,
How do you remove the flickering when modifying the dotnet control size within a dialog?
I’ve noticed some scripts have worked around the problem (the excellent HCG Asset Browser Pro has achieved a flicker-free scaleable UI).
I`ve added some code below to demonstrate the problem. Scale the floating dialog and observe the old 8bit-loading-style flicker. I`ve purposely coloured the background colour of the dialog black to emphasise the issue.
rollout Roll_DotNet "Dot Net - Flicker Example"
(
DotNetControl DotNetTest "FlowLayoutPanel" width:500 height:500 pos:[0,0]
on Roll_DotNet Resized Sze do
(
DotNetTest.Width=Sze.x
DotNetTest.Height=Sze.y
)
)
CreateDialog Roll_DotNet width:500 height:500 style:#(#style_titlebar, #style_border, #style_sysmenu, #style_resizing, #style_minimizebox) bgcolor:(color 0 0 0)
Thanks,
Andy

I’ve noticed the same thing. Though I don’t know how to fix that problem, I have started using DotNet Forms instead of rollouts/dialogs. I have more control over my UI and get less weird bugs like that.
/*Attempt to close if dialog is already open*/
try
(
dotNetDialog.close()
)
catch()
/*This is used instead of Maxscript Dialog/Rollout*/
dotNetDialog = dotNetObject "MaxCustomControls.MaxForm"
dotNetDialog.size = dotNetObject "System.Drawing.Size" 500 500
dotNetDialog.Text = "Dot Net - NO Flicker Example"
/*Setup FlowLayout and set dockstyle to Fill: no need to re-adjust size :)*/
dotNetUI = dotNetObject "FlowLayoutPanel"
dockStyle = dotNetClass "System.Windows.Forms.DockStyle"
dotNetUI.Dock = dockStyle.Fill
/*Add Controls to Dialog*/
dotNetDialog.Controls.add dotNetUI
/*Show/Create Dialog*/
dotNetDialog.Show()
You have to do a bit more dotNet with this though so it may not suite your particular script. Hope this helps!

Thanks for your help.
That is definitely an improvement over the standard Maxscript UI dialog.
