I have a very busy data entry form that uses a number of themed controls (e.g. panel, container, toolstrip, etc.) that "paints" very slowly.  When displayed it paints (almost scrolls) from the bottom up. When a childdialog is popped up over this screen and then closed, the underlying portion of the screen that needs to be "repainted" is very slow.  Again, repainting from bottom to top.

Any ideas as to why or how to speed up the screen painting?  All controls that have a ThemeSupport property are set to Full.

Well, at the moment, you don't.  I will have to add this to my "to-do" list as this control doesn't yet have that functionality.  Sorry. 

Frank,

I was already having to work on that control so I added two properties to it that will be included in the next build: TransparentBackground and RenderBodyAsSolidColor.  This will help improve performance like the other controls.
