Thanks diablo2oo2 for the C interface!

Works like a charm!

Thanks for sharing that diablo2oo2

Sorry for bumping, but diablo2oo2, I ran into a small issue with your text scroller.

Namely, it won't initialise in my current app. I lost my previous source where it previously was working fine, and im at a loss to remember the right way to init it.

Anyways, here's my current code:

	   ....
		LOGFONT LogFont;
		HFONT font;
		SCROLLER_STRUCT scroller;
		LogFont.lfStrikeOut = 0;
		LogFont.lfUnderline = 0;
		LogFont.lfHeight = 8;
		LogFont.lfEscapement = 0;
		LogFont.lfCharSet = DEFAULT_CHARSET;
	LogFont.lfQuality = ANTIALIASED_QUALITY;
	strcpy(LogFont.lfFaceName, "Times New Roman");
		font = CreateFontIndirect(&LogFont);
	scroller.scroll_hwnd = hWndDlg;
	scroller.scroll_text = "vbhfghfghfghfhfchgfhgfhg";
	scroller.scroll_x = 0;
		scroller.scroll_y = 10;
	scroller.scroll_width = 280;
	scroller.scroll_hFont = font;
	scroller.scroll_textcolor = 0x00F7DDCC;
	CreateScroller(&scroller);

Any help at all would be appreciated.

Why not simpling your life...... look

#include "TextScroller.h" // Diablo's Scroller Header "Useless" but needed :PSCROLLER_STRUCT Scr; // Define Scroll Structure Var
LOGFONT LogFont={12,6,0,0,FW_THIN,0,0,0,DEFAULT_CHARSET,OUT_DEFAULT_PRECIS,CLIP_DEFAULT_
PRECIS,DEFAULT_QUALITY, 0,"Terminal"};

Scr.scroll_hwnd=hWnd; // Handle Of Dialog "GetDC()" lol :)Scr.scroll_text=("My Simple Damn Text To Scroll With Diablo's Lib And It Seems To Work Fine ?! Cool !!"); // Text ??Scr.scroll_x=0; // Blah
Scr.scroll_y=10; // Blah
Scr.scroll_width=280; // BlahScr.scroll_hFont=CreateFontIndirect(&LogFont); // Use a FontLog for god's sake;)Scr.scroll_alpha=210;	 // TRANSPARENCY
Scr.scroll_textcolor=0x00FFFFFF; // White Font Color :DCreateScroller(&Scr); // Show Time !

Well basicly that's all but remember to include the TextScroller.lib into project.

Cya....

PS: better use () for your text

Some really helpfull sources are posted here. Thanks for all the info.

Angel-55: Thanks for that . I should have stuck with simplicity when filling out diablo2oo2's struct. And thanks again for the brief code sample, it really helps .

Thanks I have those... That is the sine scroll that I was referring to that I hate ( the one by comrade, too messy).... I started a reply to this thread since Ufo-Pu55y mentioned that it was only a few lines to add a sine to a text scroll, I thought There was something different...

I have a folder full of text scroll , I think I have them all....

I would love to know how to do this:
