Description
What happened?
Hello dear WebView2-Team.
We're running a CDialog derived (MFC) application which hosts an instance of the WebView2 control.
To prevent the application from flickering e.g. in tab change scenarios we WM_SETREDRAW the dialog.
Unfortunately, this causes WebView2 control to partly heavy flicker for any WM_SETREDRAW message issued.
Can you please take a look into the problem?
Is there a way to remedy this flickering problem?
For reproduction convenience I attached a simple demo project to this ticket.
Best regards,
Sascha

After the dialog shows up the flicker of the WebView2 control starts almost immediately.
The flickering is triggered from within the dialog's OnTimer implementation.
