Hi
I’m looking for some example code to create a scrolling ticker tape like the ‘Breaking News’ on Sky News for example. I found posts from 2020 (from Paul Lefebvre) in which he provided a link to a demo. Unfortunately this project no longer exists at the linked address, has anybody got this, or Paul, do you still have this somewhere? It’s not urgent, it’s just for fun but I would appreciate it if anyone can point me in the right direction?
Cheers - Steve
Desktop or web?
For web it’s pretty easy, add a WebLabel and put this in the content (opening event):
me.text = "<raw><marquee>i'm scrolling text, i can scroll to the left, right, top or bottom</marquee></raw>"
The can contain any html.
You could also do this in a htmlviewer if you’d like.
In native xojo Desktop code you would need some positioning and timer with a container control or some other control.
The topic I found (and demo from @Paul_Lefebvre ) is from 2017
Maybe Paul can share it again and/or include it to Xojo’s examples.
Thanks for the replys, yes - my mistake - it was 2017 not 2020 on the original post. It’s for the desktop. I’ll look into the suggestions
