Jun 14, 2011 at 21:57 comment added tbridge Thank you, thats exactly what I was looking for. Feel free to re-write this as an answer (with even more detail if you want ;-) ) and I will accept it
Jun 14, 2011 at 21:47 comment added Kirk Kuykendall I'd do it with a custom layer. In your draw method, the IDisplay's hDC can be used with GDI+, google returns a lot of GDI tutorials. I think the layer needs to be in its own display cache.
Jun 14, 2011 at 21:41 comment added Kirk Kuykendall Actually, as you type a comment, hit the "help" link, which will show how to use "mini-Markdown formatting" for links.
Jun 14, 2011 at 21:38 comment added tbridge Not an option either at this point. If I were to use GDI+ how would I do that? Create a new layer and draw directly to IActiveView?
Jun 14, 2011 at 21:35 comment added Kirk Kuykendall I think you'll need to use GDI+ if you're wanting varying alpha levels. I did this a few years ago and it was a real pain, especially when updating the UI thread from a background worker. Have you considered Silverlight/WPF instead? It sure seems to support animation much better.
Jun 14, 2011 at 21:20 comment added tbridge No, it doesn't flicker. I have it updating at 20Hz using a WinForms Timer and that seems to work.
Jun 14, 2011 at 21:17 comment added patrick @tbridge Does it flicker? When I implemented the example it flickered.
Jun 14, 2011 at 21:16 comment added tbridge Graphic Trackers can handle motion. I have a sample with an animated graphic tracker. But it lacks support for alpha blended bitmaps.
Jun 14, 2011 at 21:15 comment added tbridge Sorry, I should have been more clear, what I need is alpha-blended bitmaps.
Jun 14, 2011 at 21:08 comment added patrick Why is it not possible? Graphic trackers can't handle motion. The Docs say to use DynamicDisplay. This guy got around it but I couldn't figure out how to replicate his work. Sorry this is more of a comment but the comment system doesn't really handle links.
Jun 14, 2011 at 21:00 comment added Kirk Kuykendall Does each line, bitmap and text have the same transparency, or will it be different?
