Skinning (BitBlt Introduction) - Conclusion

Smile005

Conclusion

While this is a nice, easy example of the BitBlt function which is very important in skinning the method here is not very practical. This is because the form containing the picture has to stay open constantly and if it is moved beyond the screen or hidden from view, BitBlt will just copy whatever is obstructing it. So there's your basic BitBlt API, while we've not done anything fancy in this tutorial the possibilities of the BitBlt API are enourmous.

Apart from my school work I put most of my effort into running my joke site, I'd like to think that it makes someone smile each day. For about 1/2 a year I've been programming more and more in server side languages such as PHP and ASP, this is the partly the reason why I haven't continued any skinning articles. With my half migration to the open source software world (i.e. Linux) I've been forced to spend less time programming in Visual Basic, hopefully I will go back to doing most of my programming in VB soon.

    You can use a simple random XOR shift to do the 'encrypting'... as you probably know XOR of XOR gives original, so you can use the same for encoding/decoding provided the shift key is right. If you ...
