Scrolling Lines Of Text On A Form?
Feb 4, 2012
I am trying to scroll lines of text on a Form.
ie:
I add via (addString plus fill Path to give Outline Text) for say eight lines of text (which fill the screen with margins set at top and bottom) from a DatagridView control but there are say ten lines to that section, so I want to use the down arrow to scroll the lines up the screen, so the top two go off the top of the screen(hiden by margin boxes) and the last two added at the bottom. I have this all working but there is a lot of flickering, how can I do this more smoothly? I think it is the Form.refresh that causes the flickering, I have tried ResetText, Invalidate and Graphic.Clear, but none seem to make it smooth.
Sections of code:
'Adds line
For A = LineStart To LineSelEnd + 1
strItem = DataGridView1.Item(1, A - 1).Value
Dim useFont As Font = New Font(SongFont, CInt(SongSizeP), SongStyle)
[Code]....

I currently have a label scrolling text, But for some reason it only displays Certain song titles/text. Does Anyone know why?!

OpenFileDialog1.ShowDialog()
AxWindowsMediaPlayer1.URL = OpenFileDialog1.FileName

I'm attempting to make a scrolling text label at the bottom of a form. It is the type of scroll you can see on the weather station when there is a tornado warning out. I was wondering if someone could help me go about doing it?
Basically, I am trying to have a label, which scrolls smoothly. The scroll text will be the contents of a string variable. I was also wondering if it would be possible to have the entire scroll "disappear" as the end of it scrolls onto the left side of the screen, then it pauses for a moment, and starts the scroll again, playing an alert tone each time.

I have written a simple script to get a bunch of lines from a text file (they will be filenames eventually) which are split by new lines and puts each one into an array..
Dim ary() As String
Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
If My.Computer.FileSystem.FileExists("C:MenuFiles.txt") Then
[code]....
The only thing I can do for now is either use the substring function to remove the first character from all array values after 0 but I don't like that because it's messy and what if the split "works" as I want it to one one of the lines and knocks of the first character when I don't want it to.

I have read that VB .NET in earlier versions limited the FORM size to that of the development machine screen resolution.I am hoping that there is a way in the current VB 2010 to get around that.However in my attempts to make the form larger, it always resets itself to the screen height on my develoment machine.Is there a way to get around this and have the person be able to use a scroll bar to move down?The data I wish to show actually has two screens worth of information but the stuff in the scroll down section would be used on a limitied basis so scrolling will be useful rather than having to recreat the screen to show less data at one time.

After scouring the articles online I have come up with this design for a winforms based touchscreen app that needs smartphone like scrolling. The app itself will run on a tablet laptop or touchscreen desktop.I put everything I want to scroll on a panel. Set autoscroll to true (which will show scrollbars)Now put this whole panel inside a groupbox.Shrink the groupbox until the scrollbars are hidden (visually hidden, not visible = false)
Now the fun part I am stuck at.I think I have to handle the mousedown, mouseup & mousemove on the panel to set the autoscrollposition so that when someone touches the panel and drags, it does it's scroll magic. Please help fill in the few lines of code in below method stubs. The msdn doc on autoscrollposition is very confusing since it returns negative numbers but needs to be set to positive with abs and what not.

Point mouseUpPoint;
Point mouseDragPoint;[code]......

I have a read only multiline text box I'm using as an output box for a continuous string of data, when my data gets to the end of the last visible line the scroll bar activates and my text vanishes past the bottom edge of the text box and I have to manually scroll the text box to get back to the end of my data. is there anything I can do to make the text box scroll up so I always see the end of the data stream being past to it?
Public Class Form1
Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
TextBox2.Text = TextBox2.Text & TextBox1.Text
End Sub
End Class
Above is a really quick and dirty bit, take input from one textbox and output to the other using a button click or some such. After so many button clicks get the text box to scroll without doing it manually with a scroll bar, so you always see the latest entry.

1: the blinking carat from Form5.Textbox1 is showing up and scrolling along with my text in Form1.Label6 I want to remove the carat as it looks messy! how do I do this?2: Form1.Label6 starts scrolling across the bottom of the form at the speed I want. But then slows down once the last letter has come into view on the right hand side of the form? I have changed some of the settings and got it to be the same all the way across with the timer set at an interval of 50 and the following
scrolling text
Private Sub Timer2_Tick(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Timer2.Tick

I am looking for some tips on textbox auto scrolling text. I am developing a keyboard and a calculator. With a touch of a button corresponding letters or numbers are displayed on text. I like the text to scroll to display other letters for example 12345 appears on textbox fits in the textbox size, when i type number 67 it doesn't appear in textbox coz its not scrolling to left.

I have a text file containing lines of data (File 1). I need to delete all the lines in another text file (File 2), which are found in file 1.So I could read file 2 line by line. And then once the line has been read, read file 1 line by line to search for a match. But that's going to be painfully slow.Or I could read file 2 into memory. And then read file 1 line by line and REPLACE the lines in file 2 with nothing, therefore deleting them. File 2 could be 100 mb, so I'm not sure about reading it all into memory.

I'm looking for an example in VB.NET of a continuously scrolling form. This would be similar to a continuous form in Access but with a major difference in that when you scroll it the whole thing moves up or down instead of the data jumping up or down to the next section. If you are not familiar with Acces, this would be a form that lists data down the form in sections, one per record, in other words, like a bunch of forms strung one after the other. When you scroll down, the record at the top gradually disappears and is replaced with a new one at the bottom.
This needs to be a form with controls, not a datagridview.Right now, I'm trying to find an example of this. I tried searching for one and couldn't find one. Does anyone know of an example of a continuoulsy scrolling multi-record form where the whole form moves in VB.NET?

I'm not sure if I'm to post it here or in an other forum, but i will give it a try here So, as the title says: i want to add smooth scrolling text to my program. But i want to use java,php,xhtml or what else there is.I fund one example in the source to Mozilla FireFox 3.7 Alpha 5. The example is attached and is the file that contains the credits(.xhtml file in a .zip archive )
I guess i could just change the display-text to what ever i want, but i don't really know how to add it to my program.Well, take a look at the attached file and see what you can come up with(just open the file in your browser and it should start scrolling after a little while) Attached File(s)Credits.zip (6.07K)Number of downloads: 445

Using VS/VB 2010 and a windows form that will display 2 rich text boxes. The basic idea is to load rtb_1 with "primary data" and rtb_2 with "corresponding notes" underneath rtb_1. Scenario:
When the user clicks a button_1, rtb_1 is displayed on the form with size(1232, 364) and the main data loaded into it from a file.When the user clicks button_2, the size of rtb_1 is "new size(1232, 200)" and rtb_2 is displayed directly below it with size(1232,168).Does anyone know why the scroll bar works fine for rtb_1 w/out rtb_2 showing... but when the rtb_2 is displayed the rtb_1's scroll bar does not allow me to go to the very bottom of the text?

I am making a video game in visual studio 2010 and want to know how to make side-scrolling. I have my background image on the form and since you can't see through a picture box, I can't do it that way. Is there a detailed way to doing this?

i am currently trying to improve my skills regarding simple graphics. currently i have a form with a background image. on top of that there is a movable image drawn during Form_Repaint. the image is a character that is animated. you click and the character moves to the new point. that all works great atm. i am even able to add new "AI Chars". they just randomly walk through the form and every time they stop, there is a 10% chance every 15s that they move somewhere else (random point). as is said, that works great. but now i am kinda stuck. since my "engine" (lets say so) is in isometric perspective, i need the ability to scroll.

In a project I'm working on studying Regular Expressions in matching text in a text box to the regular ezpression. The indexes and lengths of matches in a text box are stored in a list box. When I click an index, I use the info to set the text box selection Start and Selection Length so I can quickly observe all of the matches in the text box by clicking or using the arrow keys to scan through the text box listings.
It works great except when large amounts of text are in the text box, some of the matches are scrolled off the visible area of the text box so it is necessary to manuall scroll throught the text box, which reduces the usefulness of the setup.Is there a way to get the text box to automatically scroll into hidden text that is marked with the selectstart and selectlength so they are all automattically displayed when the list box is clicked?

I am working on a scrolling text operation within a VB.net/ASP.net application. However, I am getting an error command from the following two commands:
Me.ScrollingMarquee.InnerHtml
Return Me.ScrollingMarquee.ClientID
The error is that the InnerHtml and ClientID properties are not recognized as members of the class. Apparently I am not using the correct DIM command for "ScrollingMarquee" (e.g. "Dim ScrollingMarquee As Control" is incorrect)).

Intent: To teach the user how to create a control that scrolls text at an adjustable speed across the control.What you'll need:Visual Studio.NET (2002 or 2003) - The version I built this with is 200325 Minutes of free timeI don't remember what prompted me to create this control, except that I was sitting at my desk one day and thought to myself?
1. First open the Visual Studio IDE.
2. Select 'New Project'.
3. From the project languages, select 'Visual Basic'.
4. From the project types, select 'Windows Control Library'.
5.Once the initial project has finished loading there's a couple of things that you may want to do first. The first one being, change the control name to something that means something. "UserControl1" just won't do, so in the 'Solution Explorer' right click on the "UserControl1.vb" file and click 'Rename'. Without removing the '.vb' file extension, type the name of the control. In this case lets call it 'ScrollingMarquee.vb'.
6. Now back to the control design area. Add a timer control to your project from the toolbox. Set the enabled property to 'True' and set the interval to 100. Right click on the control area (the actual control itself, not the timer) and click on 'View Code'. This will take you to the code area of project.
7. Enter the code as is written displayed below.
Code:Imports System.DrawingImports System.Drawing.Drawing2DImports System.ComponentModel
Public Class ScrollingMarque Inherits System.Windows.Forms.UserControl
#Region " Windows Form Designer generated code "
[code]....
Just want to make sure that each time we move the control or resize it,'it re-renders correctly.Invalidate()End SubEnd Class8.Next select 'Build -> Build ScrollingMarquee'.9. Once you have any bugs worked out (there shouldn't be any, but in case there are), you can change the build mode to release and rebuild the control for use in your projects.

The new text keeps going to the end of the existing text.
