i've looked over this forum a few times (note: a few lazy times). my friend tells me there is api code to stop images from flickering when moving them on a form. i have yet to find it on this forum by searching, so i figured i'd go one step up and ask. this is nothing complicated, i just want to move an image box across a form without it flickering. if anyone knows how this can be accomplished, please tell me. thanks
the best way to do simple animation is to use bitblt api. Just look around here or planet source code there are tons of bitblt tutorials.
I think all you need to do is Form1.refresh everytime the image moves. If you are using a loop then you'll want to take big steps through it as the refreshing can slow things down quite a bit espesially if you have a background picture.
for i = 300 to 3000 step 400
image1.move i
form1.refresh
next
Usually, setting the AutoRedraw property of your container to True helps.
