I'd like to display scrolling, word-wrapped, centered text on a blank
white screen with no window borders, nothing. Just a pure white screen
with big letters in the middle (in an invisible box). Then I want to
use the mouse buttons to page up or page down (left and right buttons),
or exit (double click).
Can someone point me in the right direction? I'm new to VB.
Thanks!

I can think of two ways.
You could do this in DirectX or make a borderless form, make it the size
of the screen, and then use a timer to move the text around. Using a
textbox you can just move the textbox location around the screen each
time the timer fires.

Chris,
Thanks for your help!
I see now how to have a form with no border, but how do I make it the
size of the screen?
In the center of the screen, I'd like a text window that supports center
alignment, various fonts, and manual scrolling. But I'd like to be able
to make the border of the text window invisible if I want to. What would
you suggest for that?

FormBorderStyle = None
WindowState = Maximized

I have been looking at a simple example of a scrolling text box (the one in
the SAM book) as below:
<script language="JavaScript">
var pos=100;
function Scroll() {
if (!document.getElementById) return;
obj=document.getElementById("thetext");
pos -=1;
if (pos < 0-obj.offsetHeight+130) return;

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.

Hi,
I have seen loads of different ways to do this, but the all seem to

slowly!
Does anyone know 'the best way' to make text scroll...

Override OnPain and OnPaintBackground

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
Here is my compilation command:

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,...
