Hsoi's Shop: PowerPlant Classes: HMarqueeCaption

  • HMarqueeCaption
    Current Version: 1.1.2 released 31 January 1998
    Price: freeware, see source/documentation for complete information
    Download(96K)

    A Metrowerks PowerPlant inherited class that displays a horizontally scrolling (from right to left) "marquee" of text, similar in appearance to the scrolling JavaScript marquee that one commonly sees across the bottom edge of web browser windows.

    Can be used in About boxes for scrolling credits, in JavaScript implementations for the scrolling caption, in applications that need "ticker tape style" animations/scrolling-text, or anywhere a marquee-style sign and/or animation is desired.

    - Utilizes offscreen GWorlds for smooth scrolling of text.
    - Uses text Handles for an amount of text limited only by available memory.
    - Utilizes modifiers ktyes to modify scrolling behavior (increase scrolling speed, scroll left to right, pause scrolling).

    The distribution contains the HMarqueeCaption class, a CTYP file for ease of editing in Metrowerks Constructor, and a demonstration application to show just how easy it is to incorporate and use HMarqueeCaption in your PowerPlant-based application (made with CW Pro1).
