- Many applications such as most Word processors must use a scrolling
- text window which does not use the same code as an edit control due
- to the need for more control or more text buffer space than provided in a
- text control.
-
- However, when writing a Visual Basic app, it seems that scrolling a text
- window magically becomes slower (much slower) than in commercially
- available apps which are written in C.
-
- Why is this?? Is there a faster way to scroll than calling ScrollWindow or
- ScrollDC or BitBlt from VB ??? Or is this a problem that is inherent in
- the way that VB interacts with the Win API???
