Is it possible to have the title bar of your application be a marquee? The only way I know of to make a marquee currently is this:
Public Class Form1
Private Sub Timer1_Tick(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Timer1.Tick
Label1.Left = Label1.Left - 10
[CODE]...
All that does is make "Label1" move from right to left across the form.. is having a marquee in the title bar possible?

View 1 RepliesFrom time to time, I see people asking about how to make marquee text. I recently wrote a marquee class I figured I would share, in case anyone finds this useful.

I've got a form that has a ProgressBar on it. The Style is set to Marquee. In the Form.Shown event handler, I call BackgroundWorker. RunWorkerAsync(). In the old version, while this is occurring in the background, the ProgressBar is scrolling, which is exactly what I want.I copied over not only the code from within the file (i.e., the logic code) but also the code from the designer file. So, from what I can tell, there should be NOTHING different between the two files. However, in the new version, the marquee scroll doesn't occur.
View 6 RepliesI wanted a ProgressBarStyle.Marquee animation while a query is running. I don't want the user to think the application is locked up. it's really not progress just MarqueeAnimation. the issue I have is it's not running as a thread or in the background.

I need help with the progress bar control. I can only get it to show or display in the Marquee mode, even though I have tried setting it to Continuous and Blocks. I have tried setting it programmatically at run time and in the IDE properties. I get the Marquee style every time no matter what I do. What am I missing here? I must be doing something wrong somewhere!Paul Abell

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.
I have the following sub that displays the progress (the Animation speed is 50 - but I've tried with other values)
[Code]...
I should mention that the control is created dynamically and placed on a dynamically created TabPage that in turn is added to the main tab control that is on the static form (Form1) that is refreshed - but I do believe that 'Refresh' should ripple though to all sub controls?
I'm using Windows XP and VB.net 2005. I've search for information on how to use the BackgroundWorker to display a ProgressBar during a process and thought I had it correct, but appearently I don't - the bar never shows, much less moves. My goal is to have a Marquee Style progress bar display while my code is looping thru a query result populating a datatable that a DataGridView is binded. Here is my code.
