Try this code to Prevent Form and control flickering

Protected Overloads Overrides ReadOnly Property CreateParams() As CreateParams
      Get
          Dim cp As CreateParams = MyBase.CreateParams
          cp.ExStyle = cp.ExStyle Or 33554432
          Return cp
      End Get
    End Property

Solution 2

you Can Try this Function too

Private Sub PreVentFlicker()
        With Me
            .SetStyle(ControlStyles.OptimizedDoubleBuffer, True)
            .SetStyle(ControlStyles.UserPaint, True)
            .SetStyle(ControlStyles.AllPaintingInWmPaint, True)
            .UpdateStyles()
        End With

    End Sub

Call this in forms Load Event
