Picturebox Flickering

[davidcard]

Hi,

Is there anyway of stopping the text from flickering in the attached program? I need extra smooth text whatever the speed it is travelling.

Regards.

The zip doesn't seem to have your .frm file in it.

You only included the .vbp file which contains no code. You also need the form1.frm file. But anyway, without having seen what your doing the only suggestion i have is bitblt. This is an API function that can be used to make things move accross the screen smoothly. There is a tutorial on this site on how to use it. Search for "Lander".

you didnt post a zip

my suggestion is (at the expense of memory) is to put the troublesome picturebox inside of a parent picture box, then move the parent. it takes memory, yes, but it greatly reduces flickering.

You could use a separate DC as a buffer space in which to make the changes before copying the whole thing to the Picturebox, giving a Flicker Free scroll. (see modified attachment.)
