Excellent...Keep up good work....

hello,

I was just wondering if the backcolor could be set to transparent

i.e.  I would like to have the words scroll over a jpg image.  

thanks,

Thanks, very good text scrolling control but does not scroll when I am processing some other query in the background. I may not be doing it properly. Please guide me if you have any solution.

Thanks again
Best Regards

Would like to know what  the limitation on text that can be entered?
How many characters? How many lines?
Can this be overcome?  If so How to do it?

This control is just what I need for an app..
but it stops displaying text after a certain number of characters.
Can someone help me overcome this problem?

SonnyBoy:

The text displayed by the control is contained in the Text property. By default, you can enter up to 2048 characters in a text box. If you set the MultiLine property to true, you can enter up to 32 KB of text. The Text property can be set at design time with the Properties window, at run time in code, or by user input at run time. The current contents of a text box can be retrieved at run time by reading the Text property.

There are certain limitations for the TextBox control:

If you need to have more text displayed then perhaps you should try using the RichTextBox Control.

 

Good Luck

I did extensive testing.  If a line of text is too long, the whole thing gets out of whack.  Make your lines shorter.  I was successful in scrolling 240 lines of 10 characters each.  I stopped there, could have kept going.
