scrolling marquee text in label

I've written a custom controll that scrolls text (marquee style) one
character at a time. This works - but is too jerky looking. I'd like to make
a smoother-scrolling marquee. I think the way to do this is to turn the text
into a bitmap, and scroll that. Are there any examples of doing this or
anything similar? Thanks

Hello, I am redesigning my website and would like to have the text scroll within the webpage without the page itself scrolling.... if you understand what I mean... ;-) I want a very sleek look and would like to use little arrows that people could press to see more of the text rather than have a very long page.... How should I go about that? I use DW3. Can it be done???? Thanks for any info!! ;-)

I need to have a "scrolling" text label or textbox at the bottom of my window to show the URL of where a song is being played from. I want the text to scroll on a single line from left to right in case the URL is longer than the width of the textbox/text label. Is there a native way to do this in VB.NET?

Does anybody know how to do scrolling text like the HTML marquee? I need to be able to set the text programmatically. I have to do it two ways - across the bottom of the screen and also scrolling up the screen for news. I can use HTML but it's not really smooth. I wonder if there is a control out there that will do it. TIA - Jeff.

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
