Thanks for clarifying that. Unfortunately there isn't currently a way to disable the previews, but I will put that request on our list. If we're able to implement it, we'll be sure to let you know ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/alt-tab-preview-causes-screen-repaint-event/?ID=e2be24d7-4bc7-471d-8d4c-d70a3a7553b6#3 Sat, 17 Oct 2015 23:26:26 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/alt-tab-preview-causes-screen-repaint-event/?ID=e2be24d7-4bc7-471d-8d4c-d70a3a7553b6#3 DisplayFusion Actually, I am using classic view (Windows 2000 style) in Win 7 SP1 pro. It happens whether or not I hold on the preview. In other words, I cannot hit the tab key fast enough to avoid the issue. Sorry for the delay - out of office. ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/alt-tab-preview-causes-screen-repaint-event/?ID=e2be24d7-4bc7-471d-8d4c-d70a3a7553b6#2 Wed, 14 Oct 2015 20:33:02 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/alt-tab-preview-causes-screen-repaint-event/?ID=e2be24d7-4bc7-471d-8d4c-d70a3a7553b6#2 DisplayFusion Are you referring to the "Aero Peek" preview that happens when you have a program selected in Alt+Tab but don't let go of the key combination? ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/alt-tab-preview-causes-screen-repaint-event/?ID=e2be24d7-4bc7-471d-8d4c-d70a3a7553b6 Mon, 12 Oct 2015 22:10:02 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/alt-tab-preview-causes-screen-repaint-event/?ID=e2be24d7-4bc7-471d-8d4c-d70a3a7553b6 DisplayFusion DF is a nice program and solved some issues for me. However, there is one very irritating thing for which I was not able to find a solution or workaround. I have a program (C#) which, by design, does not repaint its screen. By design, I ignore the Paint event. This makes it faster and simpler. Its nature does not require re-paints; this is admittedly unusual.

However if I use alt-tab, the screen clears as soon as the program is selected (box around its preview). This does not occur for any program for which the paint event in handled. I suppose this may be related to the preview function. Is there a way to turn off preview for specific programs if such is the case? Or is there a fix or workaround here?

Thanks. ]]>
