Continuously scrolling, centered text in a PictureBox. Just put a picture box and a timer control on a form and paster the following code into
VBcoders
Const MyStr = "Hello, this is a test string"
Static TopText As Integer
Static TopLoaded As Boolean
Dim Speed As Integer
Dim NotShowing As Long
'speed is one pixel per tick
Speed = Screen.TwipsPerPixelY
If Not TopLoaded Then
'only set this once
TopText = Picture1.ScaleHeight
TopLoaded = True
End If
'clear picture box text
Picture1.Cls
'center the text about to be displayed
Picture1.CurrentY = TopText
Picture1.CurrentX = (Picture1.ScaleWidth \ 2) - (Picture1.TextWidth(MyStr) \ 2)
'display text
Picture1.Print MyStr
'if text has moved past the top of the picture box
'then start scrolling text from the bottom
NotShowing = (TopText + Picture1.TextHeight(MyStr))
If NotShowing < 0 Then
TopText = Picture1.ScaleHeight
Else
'else continue moving text up
TopText = TopText - Speed
End If
End Sub
