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 ;-)

how come when the text gets near the
top it turns black and then white? how
do you make it just disapear.

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
IMNoPatzer@excite.com and I will look
at it for whatever might be preventing
it from working. Thanks! =)

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outdated.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!
|
9/4/2000 8:56:42 PM:Wayne Hartell
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.

Great job. I like the suggestion from
Ulli! as well.
Keep up the good work

it doesn't have to be new to win, has
to be popular.

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

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.
