Set the DoubleBuffered property of the images parent control to true. You have to
do this in code, e.g. in the formCreate event, the property is public but not published, if
memory serves.

Please do not cross-post messages on these groups, it inconvenienves other users
and is against the newsgroup guidelines (see borland.public.announce).

Thanks, but I was trying not to use a window handle for each bitmap and
DoubleBuffered is (I believe) a property of TWinControl which requires a
window handle. Should I worry about using 100-200 window handles for the
bitmaps?

Sorry for the crosspost, didn't know the rules.

Yes, you probably should worry about using that many window handles.

If you need some sample code, e-mail me and I will send you some.
