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 🙂 ---

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. 😉 ---

[quote=“JordanCClark”] Excellent idea! Except isn’t supported in Swing. 😉[/quote] Ah well in that case “nevermind, nothing to see here, move along” 😊 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](https://inductiveautomation.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=20336) for alternatives. 😃 ---

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…
