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

Question

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?

Try:

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