This would rule if you could make a 
screen saver out of this where the ants 
ran across the desktop instead of a 
white form... 5 globes for you!

Hello everyone!
Thanks for the 
posts.
Just wanting to ask if anyone 
would know how to use the desktop as 
the background instead of a white 
background.

You can copy the desktop using the 
GetDesktopWindow API call to get the 
desktop hwnd. Then use the GetDC API 
call to convert the hwnd to a hDC. Then 
use BitBlt to copy the desktop image to 
the picture.
Some caveates though, I 
was only able to make it work if I set 
the picture autoredraw property to 
TRUE. This required putting 
picture1.refresh commands in a number 
of places. Also, it worked better when 
I removed most of the form resizing 
code and made the form invisible just 
before I copied the background.

this is awsome, if you want to get the 
desktop i would suggest u just take a 
screenshot, that way it looks like it 
normally would w/ all windows open and 
stuff, but it will just have the ants, 
that would rule

Why would you want to make a screenshot 
of the desktop. Just make your form 
transparent. Some other projects on 
this site show you how to do this

very cool code, plus if its good 
enought for simon its good enough for 
me. I have a suggestion though, can you 
have it on a transparent bg, and also 
have it tell you who ate the most

The transparent bg could be a problem 
but the apples thing will be easy. 
Anyone know how to make the form and 
a picbox transparent?

Hi, great app ! A great way to learn 
bitblt and a bit of OO stuff. I've 
humbly made some enhancements on it - 
features like the ants are assigned a 
random speed and health. The speed is 
obvious but the health measures how 
long the ant will survive. At the end 
of each 'day', every ants health is 
reduced. But for each apple they eat, 
their health is increased. At the end 
of each 'day', if the ant has bad 
health it dies automatically.
I 
worked on the interface a bit too. Just 
way too much fun ! I plan on adding 
more stuff - if you would like a copy, 
please contact me !
Cheers, and 
Kudos !
