GRAPHICS, GRAPHICS AND MORE GRAPHICS!

[Xenonic_Rob]

Hey peeps, your fellow webmaster and programmer Xenonic Rob here.

Just wondering, could everyone post links to any great graphics effects in VB? Anything from fading to distortion effects, ANYTHING!

Dummy post to get this post to the top..........sorry :)

No links, sorry...

You can use the pagetransition control to create great PRESENTATION effects.

you know...one day I should back up this HUGE vb library I have...Its pretty sad when I can even find somehting like that, when I never looked at the code...

:p


Maybe instead of Backup, you should try COMPILE and ORGANIZE :).

That kind of fading (if you do it with bitblt vbsrcand) won't give the correct colors. You have to multiply or divide each pixel with the same factors in RGB. On the other hand if you alphablend on a black or white surface, it will fade correctly. I know there's api for that with Win2k and a control for 98, but that's too uncompatible, so DirectX would be a reasonable option.

Maybe you can just download the 128Meg DirectX 7 SDK, and try effects from that (The SDK is filled with examples)

These sites show some cool effects.

This is also a good starting point for Blt, transparency, scrolling, ...:
