    Question

    I am needing to scroll some text in a label or textbox or something across the screen. I have been told by several people to use the BitBlt API call instead. Does anybody have a link or any other information that explains this call in lamens terms? I'm new at VB and I'm just not getting it.......... Thanks guys..........

    BitBlt is explained in many articles/tips on this site.
    It's just an API. You could compare it to the PaintPicture method in VB6.

    Example:

    Unless you are really concerened with speed, you should use PaintPicture instead, because it's a built in Vb function, and you don't need to declare any API's.

    Secondly, PaintPicture and BitBlt are both used for pictures. If it's just text that you want to scroll, you might want to use VB's Print method instead.
