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

I would suggest looking at LockWindowUpdate

[DllImport("user32.dll", EntryPoint="LockWindowUpdate", SetLastError=true,
ExactSpelling=true, CharSet=CharSet.Auto,
CallingConvention=CallingConvention.StdCall)]
