How to make RSS feed reader or is that somewhere allready?

Best,

Thanks. I will test it…

Ok, It´s working fine.
Is there any possibility to do horizontal rolling feature? I mean it rolls news headers like in the TV news?

I am building Infomonitor software :slight_smile:

You could try using an html tag that’d do the kind of ‘news ticker’ scrolling you want

Excellent idea! Except isn’t supported in Swing. :wink:

Ah well in that case “nevermind, nothing to see here, move along” :blush:

I’m fairly new to ignition so I didn’t realize the ‘components take/play nice with HTML’ functionality had limitations like that

No worries, my friend! Swing has pretty fair HTML support, but some of the more esoteric features are missing.

Take a look at this thread for alternatives. :smiley:

Not a bad solution, I used that method (rolling substrings on a timer) to do a marquee on a small assignment in college but found it a little resource hungry when used on something like an rss feed which is regularly getting things pruned and appended.

granted that was over a decade ago, so it may not make a noticeable difference anymore…
