outflow string

[avigreen]

i wrote a code

public partial class frmFlow : Form
    {
        string FineString = " ";
        PointF thispoint;
        Font thisFont = new Font("Times New Roman", 100);
        SolidBrush thisbrush = new SolidBrush(Color.Red);
 
        public frmFlow()
        {
            InitializeComponent();
        }
 
        private void frmFlow_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            SetStyle(ControlStyles.AllPaintingInWmPaint | ControlStyles.UserPaint | ControlStyles.DoubleBuffer, true);
            SetStyle(ControlStyles.ResizeRedraw, true); 
            timer1.Start();
        }
 
        SizeF size = new SizeF();
        RectangleF rc = new RectangleF();
        private void timer1_Tick(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            FineString = "(-: Smile :-)";
            timer1.Interval = 33; //(int)nudSpeed.Value; ;
            Invalidate();
        }
        protected PointF getPoint()
        {
            thispoint.X -= 5;//(int)nudDistance.Value; 
            if (thispoint.X <= 0 - size.Width)
            {
                thispoint.X = this.Width;
            }
            thispoint.Y = 180;
            return thispoint;
        }
 
        private void frmFlow_Paint(object sender, PaintEventArgs e)
        {
            size = e.Graphics.MeasureString(FineString, thisFont);
             e.Graphics.DrawString(FineString, thisFont, thisbrush, getPoint());
        }
}

it's very well but how can i speed it up that it will not look like jumping and look nice so i want to know what to speed up the interval of the timer or to decrease the X point in getpoint or something else
please if you can write a code to do
thank

i want to know what to speed up the interval of the timer

Line 25. Change the .Interval to a smaller number.. Though 33 miliseconds is already fairly quick.

Am I correct in determining that this takes the string "(-: Smile :-)" and scrolls it from right to left in jumps of 5 pixels?

that it will not look like jumping

You could move it in smaller increments than 5 pixels.

you are right the string is scolling from right to left
i need to scroll it very fast for some reasons
thanks again
