Scrolling Ticker Display

[Steve]

Is there any way to create a "Ticker" to scroll across
the screen in a form.

I have information that I need readily available to a
user and rather that have a static display on a subform
within a form, I'd like to display it as a scrolling
ticker across the bottom of the screen...in stock market
fashion.

Thanks

Steve

Hi Steve,

See if this download file on Sensei Leban's site is what
you are looking for:

NEW Version 2.0 HScrollerVer2.zip is a database containing
a Function to create a Horizontal Text Scrolling Window.
The CreateWindowEx API call is used to allow for a smooth
scrolling effect with limited impact on VBA resources. The
positioning of the Window is not limited to your Form. Now
uses ScrollWindow API for even smoother scrolling! Source
Code is included.
