How do you prevent a RichTextBox from refreshing its display?

Question

I have a RichTextBox where I need to update the Text property frequently, but when I do so the RichTextBox \"blinks\" annoyingly as it refreshes all throughout a method call

Answer 1

Could you just store the Text into a string, do your manipulations on the string, and at the end of the method, store it back into the Text property?
