Description
Yet another flicker free about form.
Major differences between this and the other dozen on PSC: This one draws over a background picture, this one is a single form solution, this one has mouse capture to stop the scroll.
I've tried to make this form so it's a "drop in and go" type setup. Add the form, change the picture in picOut, move and resize picBackBuffer to where you want the text to scroll and it should work.
In order for the mouse out tracking to work, you need ssubtmr6 from vbaccelerator - http://www.vbaccelerator.com/codelib/ssubtmr/ssubtmr.htm . If you don't want to use this functionality, just change HASH_CON_TRACKMOUSE from True to False. Voila, no implemented interface and no subclassing :)
I originally based this off Mark Robert Strange's flicker free gradient credit box, there's very, very little of that code left in this one though :) But, still, he was the guy who gave me the idea, so I'd better credit him!
