I did not see what exactly flickering. Try to set double buffering on parent form (or a parent control of moving panel) or panel itself, or both and see what happens. Use the property System.Windows.Forms.Control.DoubleBuffered. For a control (Panel) it also requires calling protected SetStyle, so do it in your derived class. You will need to add styles System.Windows.Forms.ControlStyles.OptimizedDoubleBuffer | System.Windows.Forms.ControlStyles.AllPaintingInWmPaint.

See:
