Hello,

I am using DesignSurface objects in a MDI form. I use TabControl to place these design surface objects each in a tab page.

The structure is as below.

Form object has a User control embedded in it

User Control has a DesignSurface object docked to it

DesignSurface itself embeds a form on which controls are

designed.

I place each of these form in the tab page. Its working fine, but when I move from one tab to the other, there is lot of flickering. I think it is because of the multiple hierarchy that I am following.

Is there any other way to achieve a similar look like VS iDE.

Also, I could hv placed user controls within each tab page instead of Form, user control cannot be closed like a form. So I had to embed the user control within the form.

Am I wrong some where ??

Any ideas should be of great help to me.

Thanks,
