A flickering problem

I've got a game GUI and need to use the paint() and repaint methods. But I get a very annoying flicker on my screen. I saw a method called update but don't know how it works or what to do with it. Any one tell me what it does or any other way to get rid of this flickering?

update(Graphics g){
paint(g);
}[\code]

Facing "Display Flickering" problem with my 15" macbook pro(A1286)while swapping the desktops and closing the tabs.....need help...reply soon

Suggest Solution for this Display Flickering problem ....

Hi, I read the post about calibration and I probably do that a little too often TBH! As I get so little time out the battery and mainly use my MBP on my lap, usually with the power supply near by, it gets charged to full, run to empty to the point of sleep, or sometimes it even cuts out and then is recharged to full again, so I really think it's new battery time. I've seen non Apple Official ones for between £35 and £65 that have 3 year warranties and state they are around 5200mh but am unsure due to reviews.
Later...
Anyway's I have now ordered a non Apple replacement from Amazon for about £35 and it has several good reviews and 4.5 out of 5 stars so I'll see if it works and report back. If it doesn't I'll send it back and get the Official Apple one.

MDIChildren flickering problem while switching between child form with dockstyle.fill and borderstyle.none

I have an mdi applicaton in Visual studio 2010 (.Net framework 4.0). I'm having a flickering problem when user switch between an MDI Child form. I'm declaring the child form then setting the borderstyle.none at design time and dock property to fill
through programming and make them a MDIChildren before I show them so that it takes up the entire space of the MDI Parent window without being maximized (client request).
i don't want to display control box(minimize, maximize,close) of child form in mdi parent form. (client request)
The problem is that when the child form is being displayed it is briefly shown in it's default size with icon and control box before being resized to fill the available area on the MDI Parent form. When a Child Form loads, you can see it in it's original
size (the size from Design-time) then all this flickering while maximizing .
In other words, child form show up in the client area of the MDIForm, not maximized, with a caption, very shortly, before they are finally filling the client area. there is a short flicker when a new form is created and displayed. This process is most noticeable
with a not-so-powerful PC or there are lots of control inside child form.
below is my code to show child form
MyChild1 c1 = new MyChild1();
c1.MdiParent = MdiMainParent;
c1.Dock = DockStyle.Fill;
c1.Show();
how can i solved the problem of flickering issue?
I tried many options which i have described below
1.double buffering.
2.set style property to child form
this.SetStyle(ControlStyles.UserPaint, true);
this.SetStyle(ControlStyles.AllPaintingInWmPaint, true);
this.SetStyle(ControlStyles.DoubleBuffer, true);
3. override below method in each child form
protected override CreateParams CreateParams
get
CreateParams cp = base.CreateParams;
cp.ExStyle |= 0x02000000;
return cp;
4. override below method in each child form
const int WM_NCPAINT = 0x85;
const int WM_SIZE = 0x05;
protected override void WndProc(ref Message m)
if (m.Msg == WM_NCPAINT)
if (this.WindowState == FormWindowState.Maximized)
return;
if (m.Msg == WM_SIZE)
if (this.WindowState == FormWindowState.Maximized)
return;
base.WndProc(ref m);
but I didn't see any effects. please someone help me to resolve flickering issue. thanks in advance.

Hi hardikvaishnav,
This is a known issue which has been reported to Microsoft Connect. Unfortunately, this issue will not fix due to stability issues around MDI. For more details, see
https://connect.microsoft.com/VisualStudio/feedback/details/97787/border-of-mdi-child-form-flashes-up-despite-formborderstyle-none.
You might use a user control or panel instead.

ALV flickering problem

Hi,
I have flickering problem with ALV control (cl_gui_alv_grid). My alv grid control is not in edit mode.
I am using ALV grid for event planning with drag drop operations, so there may be 1000+ rows sometimes at grid.
Also I call refresh_table_display with soft_refresh and is_stable='XX.'
(I call cfw=>set_new_ok_code to trigger PBO. refresh_table_display is being called at PBO )
It flickers just a second or two after drop_complete but it is critical for usability.
I think flickering happens because of scrolling, so I used set_scroll_via_id but nothing changed.
Thanks.

Hi Manu,
I tried not to trigger PBO (Called refresh_table_display at PAI, commented set_new_ok_code)
It does not help..
(Same behaviour : se38-> BC_ALV_TEST_GRID_PERFORMANCE.Increase record count to 5000.Run.
Scroll to the bottom of list.)
Thank you..

Flickering problem with Apple TV

I am suddenly having flickering problems after updating Apple TV. The box has worked fine for several months though I did have this same problem when I first got it in February. I have a Panasonic 37' viera. I have unplugged both the TV and the Apple TV box, reset it a number of times. Don't know what to do.

I'm having the same issue, albeit right out of the box. I hooked up my Apple TV according to the instructions, have no other issues with my wifi, and the HDMI and power cables are all securely connected. My TV's also a Samsung, experiecing the same "flickering" of audio. In addition, during set-up, the screen was also flickering to white while inputting my wifi info.
Am hoping swapping it out in store will fix the problem. I was so excited to get my AppleTV in the mail and everything else Apple-to-TV has been working great. (I had my ancient black MacBook -turning 6 in June- hooked up with zero connectivity problems.) Wondering if this will be an ongiong issue? Had decided against AppleCare for such an inexpensive addition to my home, but maybe I should re-think that decision...

Flickering problem with live viewing with IMAQ Image Display

Hi everyone,
I am trying to write a program to do live imaging with Andor camera. I am using some examples from Andor. The images are acquired in sequence and send into IMAQ Image Display and also Intensity Graph. There is minimal flickering issue in the Intensity Graph but there is very bad flickering problem in IMAQ Image Display. Perhaps I misunderstand how to optimize the vision tools. Does anyone know how to overcome this issue? I have attached the code that I am testing. Thanks in advance.
Best regards,
Han Yen

You can use Vision Assistant to test our vision functions. Vision Assistant is really meant to prototype - it does not have all teh functionality of Vision Development Module and is not as flexible as we don't allow you access to all the settings for every function.
I recommend starting in Vision Assistant and then porting over to LabVIEW or C (whatever you are most comfortable with)...this is built-in functionality. There is nothing wrong with using Vision Assistant to do live imaging, just that you run into limitations and you will only be able to use this code on computers that have Vision Assistant.
Hope this helps.

Flickering problem on screen - 3000 series N200 laptop

Hello!
I have a 3000 series N200 laptop (0769 type) for 3 years. Approximately 3 months ago, there was a screen problem that the screen had white vertical gridlines. Service replaced the chipset of the graphical card.
Yesterday, a flickering problem has been appeared. I updated bios and display drivers from below link.
http://support.lenovo.com/en_US/downloads/default.page?
Could not get a solve with those updates. Then, I dismounted the front cover of screen. Re-assembled the LVDS FFC cable of the LCD display a couple of times, problem continued. Then, re-assembled the inverter cables. It also did not provide a solution.
>See the problem photo (1.jpg) at below link.
https://docs.google.com/open?id=0BweTh37k3ZRSQWYxRFNIWWpGSFE
Please advise about this matter.
Thanks.

Hello suguz and welcome to community,
As you have already updated the video driver and BIOS then you can check with adjusting the monitor refresh rate to 60Hrz.
Kindly check the same issue in BIOS mode and if issue continues then it might fault with Lcd display.
Best Regards,
Tanuj

Chart flickering problem when updating members of dataProvider

Hi all,
I'm having an issue with a PieChart, where the dataProvider
i'm using is getting updated under the hood and it's causing the
labels to drop in and out. Specifically, it looks like in the
updateDisplayList() method of PieSeries, there's a call to clear
the "labelLayer". I could have sworn i'd seen an example of an
updating pie chart that did not have a problem of flickering
labels, but i can't seem to figure out how to get rid of this
annoyance.
Here is a sample application that demonstrates what i'm
facing. Anyone have any ideas on how to get the labels to stick
around yet display the updated values?
Thanks,

Hi
Please select the right Operating system and download the graphic driver and then update the Bios from the link given below and check if the issue is resolved.
Link
Also easy to find out if this is a Hardware issue once unit is powered on keep tapping F10 key and see if the display is the same if yes you might have to replace the screen.
Let us know how it goes!

New Flickering Problem

I love my Macbook. It was perfect until I installed that firmware update...now I have a problem. When I start up the computer, the backlight flickers on and off a few times, then just stays off. I know it's just the backlight and not the screen in general, because I can still see things in it...that is, when I shine a light on it.
Has anyone else had this problem, and is there a way to fix it short of taking it to the Apple Store? And yes, I have reset the PRAM a few times. Didn't do a thing.
15.4" Macbook Pro Mac OS X (10.4.10) Backlight going out...

I think my issue is related to yours but mine's different. My screen would go blank when I take a picture and the screen goes white for flash then it just shuts off the brightness. Like you I can still see the screen but you would need a flashlight. Rebooting fixes the issue though.
Ill call Apple for support but I would hate to send it in for repair. I just bought my MBP!

Flickering problem after re-installation of Premiere

I re-installed Premiere and opened a project file that I edited before the re-installation.
Playing of the movie looked no problem in the Premiere. But when I exported it, the movie
flickered a lot, keeping images going back and forth. I tried in various formats and frame rates,
but every time they came to same results.
Please let me know how to fix the if there are someone who experienced same problem.
Thanks

Hi
I dont understand what the problem is. The Toshiba units are delivered with a Recovery CD. The Windows OS on this recover CD is already activated and its not necessary to activate anything.
If you use the original Windows from Microsoft CD so you have to activate this OS. But this is not a Toshiba problem. You have to contact the Microsoft.
Note: You can not activate Windows OS from the original Microsoft CD with the Toshiba image number or something like that!

Flickering Problem in external Facing Portal

Hey
we had some problems developing our external facing portal mainly because of general flickering of the web page ( the page height is set to automatic and it causes the borders to adjust constantly to the current content height).
we have a partial solution for this with:
meta http-equiv="Page-Enter" content="blendTrans(Duration=.01)"
meta http-equiv="Page-Exit" content="blendTrans(Duration=.01)"
this works just as we want, but it seems to have no effects on the first page of every new browser window. have anyone faced a problem like this before?
P.S - Our isolation method is URL and thats
thanks

thanks for the reply , i would like to wait a bit more for similar answer to this problem. so far all the external facing portals i have seen with URL isolation method on IViews have this problem.
With my partial solution the render time looks a lot faster compared to the embedded Isolation tought.
please reply if you know why the meta tag is not working on the first time you open a page on a window
thanks

Flickering problem with 2011 macbook pro unibody

I have a 17" 2011 Macbook Pro Unibody and when I connect the computer to the TV via Mini Display Port (HDMI), the TV is either not receiving any signal, or screen is flickering, however, my other 13" 2010 Macbook Pro Unibody has no problem when connected to the TV. Does anyone know the reason to the problem?

I had the same problem, and I cant say which fixed it, but i deleted the plist file then reset the pram and it worked
Quit System Preferences and delete...
Users/yourname/Library/Preferences /com.apple.systempreferences.plist
and to reset the pram reset the puter and before the chime hold alt+command+p+r and keep holding until you hear the chime a second time...
really hope this helps

Flickering problem in JPanel

hello, i'm sorry this might be a too popular topic, but my problem is a little different.
I have a JPanel which is newed with an Image, and I move it (using setBounds()) in my application when a button is clicked. It flicked badly ... after I've done some research, then i use the setDoubleBuffered(true), still the same problem, isn't the API used to remove the flickering by doubled buffering? I'm using JDK 1.3.1, FYI.
could anyone throw me some lights on this? greatly appreciate it ..
Steve

Thanks for the prompt reply, i extract those code related ... sorry I was wrong in my previous post that this is a JLabel, not a JPanel.
The logic is pretty easy, everytime a button is clicked, I draw a JLabel at a different positioin (we also need to new it with an ImageIcon if it's the first time), that's it. but the problem is it flickered badly, and setDoubleBuffered(true) doesn't solve this problem as I expect.
Thanks for any comment.
public class MainView extends JLayeredPane
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) { // when a button is clicked
if (first) { // if this is the first time, do the JLabel initialization
bottomPicLabel = new JLabel(bottomViewImage.getImage());
bottomPicLabel.setDoubleBuffered(true);
add(bottomPicLabel, BOTTOM_LAYER);
int bottomWidth = bottomViewImage.getEndX() - bottomViewImage.getStartX();
int bottomHeight = bottomViewImage.getEndY() - bottomViewImage.getStartY();
// draw at a different place
bottomPicLabel.setBounds(
bottomViewImage.getStartX(),
bottomViewImage.getStartY(),
bottomWidth,
bottomHeight
}
