flickering listview with win32:gui

Anonymous Monk has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Hi, I'm trying to build a userinterface for a mysql-database. I am trying to add a listview but it is flickering. Before I used strawberryperl and then it worked fine, but since i've been using Activeperl i'm having more problems with the Win32:GUI module. I saw on the internet that the flickering is a well-known problem, but i can't find a solution. Perhaps someone can help me. Ty.

saw on the internet that the flickering is a well-known problem, but i can't find a solution. How odd, usually every flickering problem is because of flags used or omitted (something about clipping children), or wrong parent/child of a window, or a sizer/layout battle (two windows assigned the same screen position by one or more sizers(/layout managers) battling for TOP position)	[reply]

Are you updating the contents repeatedly in your code? It would help to see that. Does it still flicker if you reduce the gui to just a window and a list box with some contents? When does the flickering start as you add more interface and/or links to the database?	[reply]

It flickers from start.All I have is a window with a listbox, it's not even connected to the database. It looks silly	[reply]

Funny; that doesn't look like code. Oh, you answered only the second. - -	[reply]
