Is there a way to enable double buffering for SWT components?

In the Eclipse RCP application I'm building, I noticed that when I rebuild parts of the GUI (by adding/removing controls), the GUI gets updated and redrawn immediately upon each modification, which causes a flicker effect.

Is there a way to enable double buffering, so that the GUI refresh will happen only once at the end of the event dispatch cycle?

From stackoverflow

• Try:

  Control#setRedraw(false);
  ...
  modify
  ...
  Control#setRedraw(true);
  

  Peter Walser : This solved the problem of flickering, many thanks! It's still not double buffered, but at least the painting can be dereferred during the updates, that's worth as much as a double buffer :)
