Another Flicker Free About Box

Yet another flicker free about form. Major differences between this and the other dozen on PSC: This one draws over a background picture, this one is a single form solution, this one has mouse capture to stop the scroll. I've tried to make this form so it's a "drop in and go" type setup. Add the form, change the picture in picOut, move and resize picBackBuffer to where you want the text to scroll and it *should* work. In order for the mouse out tracking to work, you need ssubtmr6 from vbaccelerator - http://www.vbaccelerator.com/codelib/ssubtmr/ssubtmr.htm . If you don't want to use this functionality, just change HASH_CON_TRACKMOUSE from True to False. Voila, no implemented interface and no subclassing :) I originally based this off Mark Robert Strange's flicker free gradient credit box, there's very, very little of that code left in this one though :) But, still, he was the guy who gave me the idea, so I'd better credit him!
