 |
|
I am trying to figure out how to get a window/control to scroll text vertically like you see for some credits in other programs. Any help is welcome.

You mean just like in Winamp...
| Code: | DIALOG CREATE,Scroll a text,-1,0,240,160
DIALOG ADD,EDIT,EDIT1,45,20,180,20,This text scrolls...
DIALOG SHOW
:evloop
wait event,1
goto @event()
:Timer
dialog set,edit1,@strdel(@dlgtext(edit1),1,1)@substr(@dlgtext(edit1),1,1)
goto evloop
:Close
exit |

You could use a TIMER loop here if you prefer...
| Code: |
OPTION SCALE, 96
OPTION DECIMALSEP, "."
TITLE By Mac
DIALOG CREATE,Test Program,-1,0,300,200,
DIALOG ADD,STYLE,S1,,16,B
DIALOG ADD,TEXT,T1,0,80,,,"Scrolling Text",,S1
DIALOG SHOW
:EVLOOP
%x = 0
REPEAT
WAIT ".05"
DIALOG SETPOS,T1,%x
if @greater(200, %x)
%x = @succ(%x)
else
%x = 0
end
%e = @event()
UNTIL %e
goto %e
:CLOSE
EXIT
|
Cheers, Mac

Thanks MAC and Skit. That is just what I was needing to know.
Thank you both to the replies.

| A little add-on to Mac's code. You can use @cr() to make multiply lines work... |

OK OK, so maybe I'm picky (in fact I am very much so) but don't most scrollers go the other way? I take no credit for the code below.
| Code: |
OPTION SCALE, 96
OPTION DECIMALSEP, "."
TITLE By Mac
DIALOG CREATE,Test Program,-1,0,300,200,
DIALOG ADD,STYLE,S1,,16,B
DIALOG ADD,TEXT,T1,200,80,,,"Scrolling Text",,S1
DIALOG SHOW
:EVLOOP
%x = 200
REPEAT
WAIT ".05"
DIALOG SETPOS,T1,%x
if @greater(%x, 0)
%x = @pred(%x)
else
%x = 200
end
%e = @event()
UNTIL %e
goto %e
:CLOSE
EXIT

Who cares about which way a scroller must scroll?
The only thing I know about it, is that it is much handier if something scrolls to the top, because most people think that is easier to read! And in movies you can see 'the (wo)man that's the best'...  |

I wouldn't think it makes much difference which
way one line of text scrolls...
Good point though nodnarb, most text does scroll up. 
Cheers, Mac

When I just started to use VDS, I took a few examples from the forum, without knowing how it works!
But now I can almost 'predict' how a code would look like, before I even take a look at it...
Btw. I want to look to my first posted message, to see how I started, but if I use the search tool, I've only posted around 130 messages, but I've posted a lot more. Can this be expanded so I can search furter 'back in time'? |

Good point Skit, I've used plenty of C/C++ code without
fully understanding it...
I edited my previous reply, just wasn't thinking (as usual...).
Cheers, Mac
