Answer 1

Since you mentioned command prompt, I am assuming you are creating a console program?  If you are observing flickering and you are creating a Win32 application, you may need to employ a double buffering technique as you repaint the client area.

If you don't want the console program to close right away, add a statement at the end of your program that expects input to prevent it from closing...

ex:

#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

int main() {

  cout << "Hello world!" << end ;

  cout << "Press 1 (and enter) to close" << endl ;

  int i ;      //  wait for input before closing

  cin >> i ;

  return( 0 ) ;

}
