Yup, I tried it, but that causes the controls on the usercontrol
to flicker a bit so...  However, I did make some experiments
with this in the application's splash form with pretty nice results.

Yeah. If you want to draw "animated" stuff without flicker then you're better off drawing it to a hidden bitmap in memory and then blitting that directly to the main Form.
