Hi guys,

I am playing a video over a panel using Direct X. I want to place a transparent GIF image over this video.

For this, i created transparent form and placed the transparent GIF image on this form. But, it statrs to flicker.

Is there any good solution so that i can avoid the flicker of video and the image. Further, when i move the panel i am unable to move the transaparent form. Is there any way for this too?

Pls help.

Solution 1

You could try turning double-buffering on in the form.

Solution 3

Try it this way (do this in the constructor AFTER the call to InitializeComponent):

this.SetStyle(ControlStyles.AllPaintingInWmPaint | 
              ControlStyles.UserPaint | 
              ControlStyles.DoubleBuffer, true);

BTW, you could have ggogled to find this out for yourself.
