This is a control that looks a little bit like the credits of the Matrix movie. While it isn’t the greatest clone of the Matrix credits, it turned out really well. The control is devired from CWnd.

Here is how you use this class:

1. Insert the .h and .cpp files into your project.
2. Create a static control into your dialog resource; it will be the placeholder for the control.
3. Add a member variable, like this:

CMatrixCtrl m_MatrixCtrl;

4. In your InitDialog message handler, create the control and place it in the right position:

// determine the rectangle for the control

CRect rect;

GetDlgItem(IDC_PLACEHOLDER)  >GetWindowRect(rect);

ScreenToClient(rect);

m_MatrixCtrl.SetCredits(“What is The Matrix?,This is

    The Matrix!,Programmed by,Pablo van der Meer,Pablo

// create the control

m_MatrixCtrl.Create(WS_VISIBLE | WS_CHILD, rect, this);
