    Uh... I actually didn't. I still haven't gotten it to download. I feel stupid. I hadn't checked back on this thread. Strongm, if you read this, I'm all ears about the GDI AlphaBlend function.

    Picturebox flickering wen moving

    I suggest you learn Direct Draw. I have actually made 6 games in Visual Basic by moving images, then I eventually switched to using image lists an the draw function, and later to the PaintPicture function, and now I am using DirectDraw. It is very fast and worth learning. I have all the ways of...

    True, ESquared, I will look. TheTuna, I like the site. I already learned how to change fonts in DD. :) I checked out alphablending in DD, and it told me about a vbDABL. It's a dll, and I'm going to try using it. Strongm, because I would use GDI's alphablend, but vbDABl is sopposed to be very...

    Just as a side note, the reason why DirectDraw was copying stuff off of the desktop is because DirectDraw refers to the screen, not your form, so a coordinate from your form will probably be off of you form. This can be solved with the ClientToScreen API. As for how confusing DirectDraw is, most...

    image fading in Direct Draw 7

    Sorry for the repeated posts. The post had left the first page, and I wasn't sure if you knew I hadn't completely solved it yet. I created a surface to use as the color, and made it black. I am guessing that there is a property in the DDBLTFX object that I need to change to make fade between...

    To update, I created a DDBLTFX object and the BltFx routine. All I need is the code before the blt that defines what it will do.

    Thanks for all of the links, but I believe they relate to AlphBlend on an picture box. Remember that I am trying to do it in DX with the BltFx function. Are they similar? I just need to add a tint (probably black) to an image.

    No problem vb5prgrmr. Strongm, I have heard about BltFx, but the book I have does not explain it. Could you tell me what i would need to do an alpha blend? Thanks.
