[kurianos3d]

Hello Friends

We can scroll a text in maya

i mean my window have a text -l "Test"

i want scroll tht "Test" how i can do

is it possible

yea of course!

obviosly you could use a scrollLayout. But seems nobody uses it anyway.. and it really sucks. Even the Alias-guys use tabLayouts for scrolling. So here's a test:

CODE
{
   string $x = "Test\nTest\nTest\n";
   window lalaWindow;
   tabLayout -scrollable 1 -tabsVisible 0;
       columnLayout;
           text -l ($x+$x+$x+$x+$x+$x+$x+$x+$x);
   window -e -h 150 -w 50 lalaWindow;
   showWindow lalaWindow;
}

Sorry ewerybody i mean we can marque a text ....

eg: in visual basic

Private Sub Timer1_Timer()

if image1.left>=4000 then
image1.left=0
else
image1.left=image1.eft+10
end if

End Sub

I mean this type scrolling

sorry for my bad english

well, i guess you could do :

CODE


hello!

save to some html file then in mel do :

CODE
window;
 $form = formLayout;
     $browser = webBrowser -width 800 -height 600 -url ("file://C:/file.htm");
    formLayout -e -af $browser "left" 0
                       -af $browser "right" 0
                       -af $browser "top" 0
                       -af $browser "bottom" 0 $form;
 showWindow;

Of course you can do it another way using an idle script job. I'd suggest though that this is a really really bad idea since you are taking CPU time away from Maya for something fairly pointless....

CODE
global proc HandleMarquee(string $text,string $layout)
{
  global float $scroll_marquee;
  $scroll_marquee += 0.1;
  if( $scroll_marquee > 100 )
      $scroll_marquee = 0;
  formLayout -e -ap $text "left" 0 ((int)$scroll_marquee) $layout;
}

global float $scroll_marquee=0;
$window=window -w 800 -h 50;
$layout = formLayout;
$text = text -l "Hello!";
$command = "HandleMarquee(\"" + $text + "\",\"" + $layout + "\");\n";
formLayout -e -ap $text "left" 0 0 -an $text "right" -an $text "bottom" -af $text "top" 5 $layout;
scriptJob -p $text -event "idle" $command;
showWindow;
