The Text Scroller control is a cross browser widget that allows scrolling text or HTML in a box. It can be customized by setting several properties and has the ability to retrieve new texts from the server (using AJAX) every time it runs out of texts to scroll.
In addition, when the mouse enters the scroll area, the current scrolling text stops, allowing the user to read it.
The control loads a SDT named TextScrollerData where you can specify the texts (collection) that will be displayed in the scrolling box. Each item (TextScrollerData.TextScrollerDataItem) of the TextScrollerData has a single "text" property:
Sub 'SimpleSlideShowSample'
&item.Text = "text 1" &textData.Add(&item) &item = new() &item.Text = "text 2" &textData.Add(&item) &item = new() &item.Text = "text 3" &textData.Add(&item)
EndSub

Every time the control displays all the given text, it has the ability to go to the server (through AJAX) in order to load new texts to display. This can be accomplished through the GetMessages event as follows:
Event
textScroller1.GetMessages
&textData.clear()
&item.Text = "text 1" &textData.Add(&item) &item = new() &item.Text = "text 2" &textData.Add(&item) &item = new() &item.Text = "text 3" &textData.Add(&item)
EndEvent
