In our code when we are updating the Ribbon we use BeginUpdate() and EndUpdate() to keep the ribbon from dancing around.  The probelm is when you call BeginUpdate() the ribbon turns black.  The the code to update the ribbon is executed and finally EndUpdate() is called in which time the Ribbon repaints and is okay again.

This does this every time in the IDE, but never in the compiled version for me so I thought it would be okay and rolled it out.  Now our users are reporting that the ribbon keeps turning solid black after they do certain things in the application.  It seems to only be certain users that have this problem, but those poeple who do have it, have it alot.

Is there a way to keep the ribbon from updating while we update the ribbon without using Begin/EndUpdate() or is there a way to keep the ribbon from turning all black while this happens?

Thanks!
