Maybe it is less heavy on resources if the gradient is created only once and then repeatedly blitted into the visible pic-box and the text printed in the visible pic box instead of recreating the gradient all the time, printing the text and then blitting ;-) (If this comment was disrespectful, please report it.)
how come when the text gets near the top it turns black and then white? how do you make it just disapear. (If this comment was disrespectful, please report it.)
Under Private Sub RedrawTimer_Timer() chage "If picBuffer.CurrentY > 15 Then" to "If picBuffer.CurrentY > 45 Then" Change "picBuffer.ForeColor = vbBlack" to "picBuffer.ForeColor = RGB(0, 0, 255)" The text will fade out at the top. Great code!

Turning the text black when it hits the top makes no since to me. My above message changes it so it fades out when the text reaches the top. (If this comment was disrespectful, please report it.)
Really amazing! It looks great and scrolls smooth and everything. Is it possible to make it fade in at the bottom and fade out at the top? This would look cool too. Maybe 100 pixels fading out/in, nothing more. Anyway, good code! (If this comment was disrespectful, please report it.)
Great code.. This is some fine work. I had a simmilar idea for a while and you did the dirtywork and proved it wasn't that hard. I used some of this and created a new flicker-free about/splash box and have posted it. Take a look at it, it uses only one pb-no gradient bg right now :( But it fades in and out, shows use of InvalidateRect too.

I got a somewhat unrelated question to this fine project. I've noticed that this, and other projects, are dated months before even though they are yesterdays code. This one is even code of the day. Even the comments are outdated. I am confused! Can someone please explain this peculiarity?] Thanks, Great code! (If this comment was disrespectful, please report it.)
Yeah - Jose, I noticed the same thing. This IS AN OLD POSTING. I don't know how it got code of the day again... Its good code though, but definately not new. (If this comment was disrespectful, please report it.)
I made a program that scrolled credits on a background picture. Like yourself, I used off-screen bitmaps to get rid of the flicker. However I do not re-create the background each time, just once. Please let me know what you think and how to implement you gradient code

I end each of my programs with this marvelous gradiant scroll. I suppose I can also launch my program (similar to a splash screen) so users can see latest notes on training, updates, scheduled backups, etc. Thanks so much. Best one I could have found.

anything like this for vb.net? (If this comment was disrespectful, please report it.)
