I am in the midst of developing a simple application with BCB3 which
has a main form and two dialog forms that are launched at the press of
a button to input or modify some input data for the main form. Very
simple. For debugging purposes, I have placed several labels on the
main form to give me some feedback on variables.

Everything worked great until I set the dialogs to have bsDialog
borderstyle. Now the labels on the main form don't update
automatically . I have to either move the main form to generate an
OnPaint or use Invalidate(). The problem is that the Invalidate call
causes flicker. I am eventually going to be drawing a graph on this
form and I want to avoid the flicker. Why does the borderstyle affect
the updating of the main form?? What can I do to solve this flicker
problem?

Thanks.
