DirectDraw

[aussiejoe]

Greets to all, just a few questions about directdraw. I am experienced in VB coding, although not much into graphics. Using directdraw, i can get a bitmap (.bmp) or other common gfx format and display it on the screen, then move it quick enough while preventing the flicker caused by moving a picture box? Also, can anyone give me a run down of how this is done, and preferably a good site with info on use of directdraw and other directx functions?
Thanks in advance

-About flickering-
Do you use a backbuffer?

VB Area 51 is a very good site of all the DX stuff: http://www.chez.com/scribe/

Every program can be reduced to one instruction which doesn't work.
