Hi all,
My knowledge of VB is rather basic (everyone has to start somewhere!), so please excuse my ignorance.
Basically, what I am looking to achieve, is to build a program that just scrolls text from the latest line within a .txt file stored somewhere which is updated from an ASP webpage (this part is complete and working).
But also scrolls this text in a marquee style format (left to right). After some research, it looks like I should be able to get the marquee effect using a timer event on a label, with a bit of extra added code - but if anyone has any better suggestions on how to achieve this, then I'm open to suggestions.
Nonetheless, all I'm looking for is just a bit of guidance in the right direction on where to start with the front-end VB side of this. The back-end is working and I have the ASP webpage adding lines to the .txt file fine.
Does anyone have any ideas? - Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Lewis
