how to get scrolling text

2004-06-19, 01:07

Hi all,
In the Music and Video titles, you see scrolling text if the button is highlighted and the title is too long for the button. How does one get this effect? I've been trying to figure it out and have been coming up blank.

Thanks,
Gil

Never mind - I figured it out - it comes free as a side effect of using List Controls

OK, now I need an example of using the textbarscrollup control - it seems to be used in the TVGuide area, for example, but I can't for the life of me figure out how one uses it. Any suggestions?

OK, once again, I figured it out on my own. Be sure that the texboxscrollup object in your skin XML file has a width and height - there are no defaults.
