Labels - Transparent labels flash whenever they get changed

Jean-Michel O'Donnel #1 / 2	Labels - Transparent labels flash whenever they get changed As an option for my GUI, a user can set the background to a gradiated color (from black to whatever). One some forms, I use transparent labels to display information (my boss thinks it looks neat...), but whenever the transparent label gets changed, ALL transparent labels on that form flash grey, then go back to transparent. It looks positively horrible with every transparent label flashing like that. I'd love to find a way to have the labels be changed and NOT flash. I am using VB5 Enterprise Edition

How did you program that gradient? For avoidance of screenupdate-problems you should paint lines directly to the form, not onto a control like a picturebox or whatever.
