Scroll text from right to left in a label or text box ?

Hello,

Does anybody know how I can scroll a string in a single line of a Label or TextBox or StatusBar panel ?

Thank you,
Thierry

In Textbox, you can control scrollbars with a property (scrollbars something). Just look at properties window at design time.

In fact, I want it to scroll automatically and continously as a message.

Thanks

Ah...Then maybe the simplest way is to put autosized label in a picturebox with BorderStyle of 0. Then just with a timer you get a scroll in it easily.

Code:

---

Dim lblLeft As Integer

Private Sub Timer1_Timer()
    lblLeft = lblLeft - 15
    If lblLeft <= -Label1.Width Then lblLeft = Picture1.ScaleWidth
    Label1.Move lblLeft, 0
End Sub

Sorry, having a bad headache at the moment...Hope I got it right now.

You can also try scrolling with textbox by changing it's SelStart value. It's not smooth if I remember right.

Code:

---

'scrolling text
'need 1 label, 1 timer, 1 command button for this example
'
Option Explicit

Private Sub Command1_Click()

    'will give user a Yes or No prompt in which they wish to exit
       
        Dim x As Integer
        x = MsgBox("Are you sure you want to exit?", vbYesNo, "Exit")

        If x = 6 Then
            End
        End If

    End Sub

Private Sub Form_Load()
    'Will modify all the following controls when the project is run o
    '    r loaded
   
    dim msg$ as string

    msg$ = "This is a simple Marquee example that I've made." & vbCrLf
    msg$ = msg$ & "You can make something 100 times better."
    MsgBox msg$, vbYes, "Marquee Example of Scrolling Text"
   
   
   
    Label1.Visible = True
    Label1.Enabled = True
   

    Form1.Enabled = True
        Label1.Caption = Date
        Label1.Left = 0
        Label1.Top = 1800
        Label1.Height = 255
        Label1.Width = 1195
       
        Command1.Top = 2400
        Command1.Left = 0
        Command1.Height = 375
        Command1.Width = 6705
        Command1.Caption = "Exit Example"
        Command1.Enabled = True
        Command1.Visible = True


        Form1.Height = 3225


            Form1.Width = 6810
                Timer1.Enabled = True
                Timer1.Interval = 1
     
End Sub

Private Sub Timer1_Timer()

    If Label1.Left < -1000 Then
        Label1.Left = 7000
    Else
        Label1.Left = Val(Label1.Left) - 40
    End If

End Sub

Thanks for your replies.

I used a Timer control as follow :

Private Sub Timer_Timer()
k = k + 1
Label1.Caption = Left(lib, k)
If k = Len(lib) Then k = 0
End Sub

And it works fine !...
