FXTools/VB 4.0offer the best forms customization for text and graphics, which includes the ability to choose fonts/color/size/centering-justification/etc., and the ability to play avi files and display most graphics (.bmp, .tif, etc.). The forms I need are not so much input controls, but simply text and graphics information I want to display for the user (reader) to see.
