    Unhappy Is this a flaw or what?

    I created a crude game in VB 5.0 Enterprise, and encountered once major (and to my knowledge unavoidable) flaw. I move a gif image around the screen by manipulating the image.Left and image.Top properties, yet whenever the image moves it begins to flash, even more so if the image is a transparent gif. Is there any way to prevent/fix this?

    Games, games ...

    Serious, I don't know. But if you finish your game, pl. send me a copy for review. I enjoy gaming sooooooo much!

    For hiding and showing cursor

    Declaration:
    Code:
    Declare Function ShowCursor Lib "user32" (ByVal bShow As Long) As Long
    Usage:
    Code:
    ShowCursor 0 'Hides cursor

ShowCursor 1 'Shows cursor
    Use

    Talking Hiding Cursor

    Wow, I can actually help someone here!

    Try looking at the showcursor API call (know it's confusing but this is used to hide the cursor too)

    Cool link on how to use it at :http://www.vbapi.com/ref/s/showcursor.html

    As for the other one, that I can't help, know I am way out of my depth & waffling, but could you not have a timer object, and on a fast interval (say 100) refresh the screen?

    Just an idea, that will probably not work, so I will shut up now.

    :Cool:
