Hello
I am attempting to create an activex component, and would appreciate any help or refernce to any websites with good information.
I want to create this activex control to mimic the LCD Display on my sony car stereo (the Cameleon Model). With the main text display located in the middle of the display, i have created a user control in VB6 that has 36 arrays of boxes 7 boxes deep. Each Alpha/numeric charcter should take up 4 arrays and should be capable of sutomatically scrolling. If i can get the text for the song name itself functioning i would like to alternate the display in the future to show the song name, album, artist, and track time and possibly a clock.
What i need help with is defining the characters (which boxes should be illuminated for a given character)
Half of the display,
<------ 36 arrays ------>
0 0 0 0 8 8 8 8 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
