    Slideshow/Prsentation maker

    I am interested in knowing if a presentation/slideshow application can be programmed in VB6? What graphics code would I need?

    I'm guessing you want to program something like MS PowerPoint? It wouldn't be too hard in general, but when you get into all the goodies like fading screens and animation, if you don't know how to do stuff like that, it will be complicated. Your best bet would probably be to use DirectDraw. Althogh you can pul it of with Win GDI if you are good at optimizing code.

    Can you show me how to use Direct Draw in VB6? It would be less complex than Powerpoint but will be a MS Powerpoint type app-or simply a image slideshow creator (I know there are others, but a custom one to suit my VB6 designed office suite). Any of your and other p;eoples help would be olf great assistance.

    Check out www.directx4vb.com to learn the basics of direct draw.
    I suggest starting with DirectX 7 because it is a bit easier. Then when you are ready, check out my previous post on "Little problem with DirectDraw 7" and read what I have done to make a big picture scroll around the screen.
