i've tried using LockWindowUpdate in situations where i had a few
mutually dependent windows and was getting race-condition repainting
when something changed in one of them. What i thought should work
was
LockWindowUpdate( True );
// make whatever change
// let all the cascading side-effect events fire
LockWindowUpdate( False);
// force a refresh
But (as you described) LockWindowUpdate has these wierd global effects
on all the desktop windows not just yours. In my case it made the
whole screen momentarily flash - really annoying.
In both cases i've tried this i've ultimately fixed the problem some
other way - like using control flags in Paint functions to suspend
redrawing while things are unstable.
YMMV
