Picture flickers

[eynstyne]

How do I stop the flicker. The pictures are menu items. When I wand over them, the menu flickers. I tried inserting a DO loop to stop the flicker and it works for one menu item. If I select another item, the menu item will flicker. How do I stop this?

While 1
$get = GUIGetCursorInfo($form2)
if not IsArray($get) Then
    ContinueLoop
EndIf

if $get[4] = $programs Then
    guictrlsetimage($picture, "E:\NX\RESOURCES\NX\Nxmenuproghighlight.bmp")
Do
    $get = GUIGetCursorInfo($form2)
until $get[4] <> $programs

elseif $get[4] = $documents then
    
    guictrlsetimage($picture, "E:\NX\RESOURCES\NX\Nxmenudochighlight.bmp")
Do
    $get = GUIGetCursorInfo($form2)

until $get[4] <> $documents

elseif $get[4] = $favorites then
    
    guictrlsetimage($picture, "E:\NX\RESOURCES\NX\Nxmenufavoriteshighlight.bmp")

Do you have any example you can create that actually would show us the flicker? Using the windows standard .jpg(s) or .bmp(s)?

Edit:

What you could do is put all the pictures that belong with those menu items loaded up at the start and just disable them, then enable the new pic when hovered over at the same time disabling the old pic, then when it loses focus, do the reverse.

I've done this with some button effects with pics instead of buttons, also from what I understand Marfdaman's hover UDF's accomplish the same thing... It's in the scripts and scraps forum:

I'll try that. Anyway, here are the menu items. I've also included a screenshot of my "OS" if you would call

it that. Right now it really sucks, but things will pick up.

EDIT : Screenshot is too big... Can't attach
