Thanks Erel. I did try to create something like this but ended up with something like you have posted, which is OK, but it doesn't wrap end to end properly.

It seems to start scrolling and then jump back to the beginning and then scroll to the end, start again and then do a strange jump back after scrolling a small amount.

Anyway it could scroll end to end like a continuous loop ?

Are you testing the B4A example?

The video is an animated gif. It is low FPS.
