Maybe it is less heavy on resources if 
the gradient is created only once and 
then repeatedly blitted into the 
visible pic-box and the text printed in 
the visible pic box instead of 
recreating the gradient all the time, 
printing the text and then blitting  ;-)

Under Private Sub RedrawTimer_Timer() 
chage "If picBuffer.CurrentY > 15 Then" 
to "If picBuffer.CurrentY > 45 
Then"
Change "picBuffer.ForeColor = 
vbBlack" to "picBuffer.ForeColor = 
RGB(0, 0, 255)" The text will fade out 
at the top. Great code!

The ZIP file has been updated to 
reflect Ulli's suggestion above, 
resulting in %13 less CPU utilization. 
Thanks, Ulli! =)

Turning the text black when it hits the 
top makes no since to me.  My above  
message changes it so it fades out when 
the text reaches the top.

Thanks, RJ! Changing it to black was an 
attempt to force a sharper contrast 
between the lettering and the 
background. I changed the code on my PC 
to what you suggested, and if 
definately was a nicer effect! Keep the 
suggestions coming, that's what this is 
all about. =)

Really amazing! It looks great and 
scrolls smooth and everything. Is it 
possible to make it fade in at the 
bottom and fade out at the top? This 
would look cool too. Maybe 100 pixels 
fading out/in, nothing more.
Anyway, 
good code!

Great code.. This is some fine work.  I 
had a simmilar idea for a while and you 
did the dirtywork and proved it wasn't 
that hard.  I used some of this and 
created a new flicker-free about/splash 
box and have posted it. Take a look at 
it, it uses only one pb-no gradient bg 
right now :( But it fades in and out, 
shows use of InvalidateRect 
too.

Hi, No problem, I would like to help 
you if you still need it. Email the 
zipped project to me at

I got a somewhat unrelated question to 
this fine project.
I've noticed that 
this, and other projects, are dated 
months
before even though they are 
yesterdays code. This one is
even code 
of the day. Even the comments are 
outdated.
I am confused!
Can someone 
please explain this 
peculiarity?]
Thanks,
Great code!

Yeah - Jose, I noticed the same thing. 
This IS AN OLD POSTING. I don't know 
how it got code of the day again... Its 
good code though, but definately not 
new.

I made a program that scrolled credits 
on a background picture. Like yourself, 
I used off-screen bitmaps to get rid of 
the flicker. However I do not re-create 
the background each time, just once. 
Please let me know what you think and 
how to implement you gradient 
code

I end each of my programs with this 
marvelous gradiant scroll.  I suppose I 
can also launch my program (similar to 
a splash screen) so users can see 
latest notes on training, updates, 
scheduled backups, etc.  Thanks so 
much.  Best one I could have found.
