Hey everyone,

I'm making a marquee tool. I made most of it, but the main part (marquee) is giving me some trouble. I've been thinking of the best way to "scroll" the text, but none have been working.

I don't want to use a component.

Here's what i tried:
-delphi.about.com's marquee thing..didn't work because i need it to something different, so i can't just use 'Copy'.

-Label.Left:=Label.Left+1 on a timer..But if i do this, then the text like, blinks..

Anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks.

It won't work because the way Zarko does it uses the Copy function.

All he does is move the first letter to the end..=/

So fill the label with spaces so it extends to the whole form length?

Yea...i was gonna try that, but idk how many spaces i would need..(if ran on different computers..)

So maybe i'll just make some formula. Lol.

FlawedMatrix helped me fix it. Razz

I put the label on top of a panel, and then doublebuffered the panel.
