In the resource editor, click on 'Edit' then 'Background Info'. Make 
sure that the 'Visible on Startup' box is not ticked. All your child 
windows will be created as normal but will not appear until you make a 
call to something like myChildWindow.Show(). This ought to fix the 
flicering.

Not sure about this one, I don't see this happening on my machine. Do 
you have some example code you can post here?
