I require a control that will allow my application to display a slideshow of image files with transions between each image.
The control should have properties like this:
.Image
specifies the next image file to be loaded and pre-load it in the background
.TransitionType
specifies the transition effect which will occur
.TransitionTime
specifies the time (in seconds) the transition will take (say between 0.5 and 5 seconds)
and perhaps a method like .Execute which will cause the transition to take place. As you can see the time each image is held on-screen therefore can be controlled by my program.
It is important that the transitional effects are quite smooth whilst using as little processing power as possible, as this control will run in a program that is performing a lot of other on-screen tasks. Therefore I have chosen transitions which do not really modify the images as such.
The transitions I would like are
? Cross-disolve (say 8 or 16 pixel blocks)
? Disolve through black
? Cross-fade
? fade through black
? Reveal outwards
? Reveal up
? Reveal down
? Reveal left
? Reveal right
The most important is cross-disolve as I believe this will create a nice effect on-screen without overloading the processor. If you have any other suggestions for transitions, feel free to add these.?
In addition, if .Image is set to "" and .Execute is performed, the control should transition to black.
Images should be rendered to the size of the control.
The control should report back each sucessful display of the [login to view URL] case of file errors, etc. the error should be reported back to the program, but no dialogs should appear on-screen.
The control needs to be stable as my program will run a 24/7 playback operation.
