This class is derived from CStatic and presents a special effect that will kick your ass.
It is very simple to use and I hope you’ll enjoy it very much.
Here is how you use this class:

    1. Download the source code.
    2. Insert the .h and .cpp files into your project.
    3. Add a static control into your dialog resource.
    4. Add a member variable for that static control.
    5. Modify the varible declaration.

Change this:


    CStatic m_ctrlYourStaticControl;

To this:


    CJumpyDraw m_ctrlYourStaticControl;
    6. In your InitDialog message handler set the JumpyText parameters. Use these member functions:

    SetCharHeight()
    SetText()
    7. When you want to start the animation call StartJumpyText.
