Total Access Components Tour: Marquee

The Marquee control is a databound control that displays scrolling text within the control. The text can be set for different three-D styles, and the direction of the scrolling can be set for left, up, right, or down.

Using the Marquee Control

To use this control, simply place it on the form and set its Value property. In addition, you can set Direction, Interval, and Stepping properties. You can set these properties using the Access property window, the Property Sheet, or through VBA code. The Direction property determines the direction of the scrolling text. The Interval property determines how quickly the text scrolls, and the Stepping property determines how many pixels the text moves each time it is updated.
