- Animation Player for Windows Visual Custom Control Bug Fix
-
- This release fixes several of the incompatibilities between the
- VBPLAY.VBX custom control and Microsoft Visual Basic version 2.0 and
- 3.0. Specifically, the following problems have been addressed:
-
- The loss of flic palette caused when another 256 color control is
- used in the same form has been fixed. VBPLAY.VBX is now palette
- aware and allows Visual Basic to get a handle to the flic palette.
- Visual Basic performs a simple palette arbitration scheme by using
- the palette of the control highest in the window Z-Order stack.
- Placing the VBPLAY window at the top most position in the stack
- will insure that the flic palette is used by all the other
- controls.
-
- The "Out Of Memory" message cause when accessing the design mode
- only properties "AnimSettings" or "Help" has been fixed.
-
- The following feature has been added to the VBPLAY.VBX custom control:
-
- The control now supports the Help button <F1> available during
- design mode. However, Help is not context sensitive.
-
- The following feature had been added to the AAPLAY.DLL:
-
- The aaGetParm function has the new parameter value AA_PALETTE that
- returns a windows HPALETTE value. It is defined to be:
-
- #define AA_PALETTE 42
-
- Installation is accomplished by copying the VBPLAY.VBX and AAPLAY.DLL files
- over the older versions of those files. AAPLAY.DLL is usually found in the
- system directory common to all Microsoft Windows installations. The
- VBPLAY.VBX file location will vary depending on the application that uses it,
- but is generally found in the same location as the application.
