I saw this thread.
Denis’s C# magic worked. But, now the entire dialog is flashing when redraw.
I was trying to turn off updating only from subrollout. Failed.
Other solution?

You should show some example …

The script from Klunk works without flickering on my end if I just remove the off-screen part from it (2014+).

Yes, I guess it does. Unfortunately I have no way to recreate the “flickering” behavior.

i see the flickering sometimes… inside subrollout panel. it’s an interesting issue. i would like to review the solution.
it’s easy to reproduce. make some sub rollouts list longer. for example:
rollout testTabsRollout01 "Rollout 01"
(
spinner spn_spinner "Spinner" offset:[0,70]
)
rollout testTabsRollout02 "Rollout 02"
(
button btn_button "Button" offset:[0,70]
)
rollout testTabsRollout03 "Rollout 03"
(
label lbl_label "This is some text"
)
rollout testTabsRollout04 "Rollout 04"
(
colorpicker clr_picker "Color Picker"
)
rollout testTabsRollout05 "Rollout 05"
(
checkbox chk_box "Checkbox"
)
testTabs_Rollouts = #(
#("Tab One",#(testTabsRollout01)),
#("Tab Two",#(testTabsRollout02, testTabsRollout01, testTabsRollout03)),
#("Tab Three",#(testTabsRollout03)),
#("Tab Four",#(testTabsRollout04,testTabsRollout05))

if we do disable/enable/redraw for theSubRollout it fixes the issue. unfortunately there is no better solution because all about sub-rollout mechanism is a black box in max api

Yes, adding more controls and tabs shows some flickering.
This seems to fix it for me, which is basically the same but without the need of C#.

Can’t reproduce any flickering (Max 2016).
Oct 17, 2019 1:09 pm
Do you notice any difference If you check/uncheck the “Disable Redraw” checkbox?
Oct 17, 2019 1:09 pm
Oct 17, 2019 1:09 pm
Using windows.sendMessage as neat.
For my case, every time I have different numbers of rollouts.
At the end I had to nudge subrolllout pos and back.
It is far better now,
I still see one flash when subrollout is redrawn.
But, it is far better than raining down rollouts.
