Matrix Display, fixed length?

[ziggy2004]

Hello all,
I'm working on a control that has the Matrix type of Display, NOT the movie.

Currently, the scoll length is = to the numbers of characters being used. I would like to change it so that the display shows all the characters that will fit into the specified number of character placements.

For instance, if the displays width is about 3/4ths of the way across the form, I want it to display text across the same distance. So, if your text string is only 15 characters long, I want it to show those 15 characters as often as need be to cover the display.

Example:

"Hello there!!! Hello there!!! Hello there!!! Hello there!!! Hel"

Get what I mean?

See the attached file for more information.

Any help or advice is greatly appreciated,
Thanx,
