Marquee Object

The marquee object is a visual class user object that allows users to display a scrolling message to the user. The control is a 32-bit control. If you want to use it in a 16-bit environment you need to modify the local external functions to point to 16-bit dll's.

The object does not size itself. You must insure the height of the object will display the give font height. I suggest adding the following line of code to the window resize event.

//Window Resize Event
uo_marquee.width = this.workspacewidth()

The object allows you to set a few attributes: message to scroll, font face and size, font color and background color.

//Window Open Event
uo_marquee.uf_SetMessage( "Hi, it's a nice day...")
uo_marquee.uf_SetFont( "impact" )
uo_marquee.uf_SetFontSize( 20 )
uo_marquee.uf_SetColor( 255, 0 )
