I am writing an application (GUI Designer), that has a load of gui controls, Im using the ControlPaint class to draw these controls in their respective Paint() functions of each controls class. The problem is when the app loads a file first, these controls take 2-5 seconds to draw. From then on no problems, and if I close a file and open another it works fine aslong as app isn't restarted. Ive tried every form of forcing painting:

Invalidate(true)
Refresh()

Both to no avail! This has been slowly annoying me for weeks now, does anyone out there have a good solution (or any solution) to this. All the best, Keith

It's not exactly clear for me what's the problem, but according to the method calls you posted, I guess it's about forcing a control redraw. This often works for me:

Control.Update();
