SYMPTOMS
========
An ATL control might flicker while it is being resized. For example, if you have
a ListView control inside an ATL control and you allow it to be resized at run
time, a significant amount of flickering occurs.
CAUSE
=====
ATL controls are created by default with the CS_HREDRAW and CS_VREDRAW class
styles. These styles cause the entire window to be redrawn when the window is
resized.
RESOLUTION
==========
Remove the CS_HREDRAW and CS_VREDRAW styles from the window by overriding the
GetWndClassInfo() function. Add the following function to your
CComControl-derived class:
Sample Code
-----------
static CWndClassInfo& GetWndClassInfo()
{
static CWndClassInfo wc = {{ sizeof(WNDCLASSEX), 0, StartWindowProc,
0, 0, 0, 0, 0, (HBRUSH)(COLOR_WINDOW+1), 0, "MyControlClass", 0 },
NULL, NULL, IDC_ARROW, TRUE, 0, _T("")};
return wc;
}
STATUS
======
This behavior is by design.
MORE INFORMATION
================
GetWndClassInfo() is called by the CWindowImpl<>::Create() method during
window creation and uses the WNDCLASS structure initialized by
GetWndClassInfo().
