SuspendLayout doesn't work?

[joelwenzel]

I think I am misusing SuspendLayout.

I want to resize a bunch of things so I don't want to paint them until I'm done resizing everything. This is what I have

me.SuspendLayout()
...
'Resize stuff
...
me.ResumeLayout()

However, the form still paints everything during the resize. It is slow and ugly. Is there another function or something I should be doing to achieve what I want?

It is probably working. Each control must be suspended separately.
