Subject: Re: long text /moving text
Hello there,
Thanks for your help. Can you clarify me some more on how to use
FldSetText() to create the moving text effect for long text string?
I tried but my text string still got chopped off at the end. Do I have to
write a function to call FldSetText() repeatly for different part of the
long text string so as to make the text looks looping ? Or is that something
the system have build in function for it? I am kind of hesitated in writing
long and resource wasteful function to do job that could otherwise done by
the system itself....
Thanks again for your help,
Andy

if it's fixed text, use a field with the size/area/font you want, with no
underlines, non-editable, and use FldSetText() at runtime
