Question?

I know the setpixel API, is there also a way to draw a square of 20 black square pixels on the screen? Because I want to make some sort of fade out on my screen and doing it pixel by pixel takes an eternity!

Wilbert :confused:

Private Declare Function FloodFill Lib "gdi32" (ByVal hDestDC as Long, ByVal X1 as Long, ByVal Y1 as Long, ByVal Couleur as Long) as Long

'Fill inside of a closed shape
'Be carefull you don't have leakage ...
'Use as follows :
Picture1.FillStyle = 0
Picture1.FillColor = vbBlue
FloodFill(Picture1.hdc, 100, 100, vbRed)
Picture1.Refresh

Thanks it's a nice fade out. But can it be slowed down? Because it goes very fast? Also why is vbRed colored blue in my picturebox?

Tx,
Wilbert

I dont think you can slow it down...

Be carfull do not get confused between filling color VbBlue and border limit for filling color.

In the example, I ask to fill the zone delimitted by red lines with blue color ...

Is there another way to make a nice fade out screen besides the floodfill API, because it goes way too fast?? :confused:

or just type "fade fading visual basic" on google search engine ...

depending on what your fading effect should apply I think you will find what you want
