SuspendLayout and ResumeLayout are really only useful when initializing controls. Once they're initialized, it's pointless to use them.

As for the problem, do you notice the flickering when passing another window over your application (a window from another application)? If so, painting isn't the error exactly. Whatever occurs in your app in this case when you close the form is eating up enough CPU cycles - or blocking the main UI thread completely - to cause slow repainting of invalidated regions.

If the behavior is the same whether you pass one of your windows, or a window from another application over yours (or minimize -> restore, whatever to invalidate your form), then you might have to consider overriding several of the more offensive controls and enable double-buffered painting. See the Control.SetStyle method and ControlStyles enumeration documentation for details.

If many of these controls are already custom controls that you've written, using a double-buffered approach to painting (if you haven't already) will help, but you should also be mindful of the invalidated region when handling OnPaint (its better to override OnEventName methods when possible, as opposed to handling the events in a child class) and only repaint the invalidated regions (again, if you haven't already).
