Hi Andrew,
Here is my feedback.
Everything works fine on the desktop. On the device, the transitions
are too slow. Say, a slide show runs in intervals of 5 seconds, while a
transition takes longer than that, the show ends up in a plausible
"out of memory exception". Actually, fading two images on an Image
control is yet faster than fading on a form.
The images to fade are stored in an ImageList:
Fader1.NewFade(il.Item(0),il.Item(1), cBlack, true)
Timer interval 20ms, Faded = Faded + 5 transition steps.
Image sizes are 640 x 480px.
The device, an iPAQ h2210, runs Pocket PC 2003.
Your demo with the much smaller images performs acceptably smooth.
Anyway, a fantastic approach, Andrew. I will experiment further
and eventually find a compromise for the device.
Keep it going
Cheers
Robert
