iOS Question MARQUEE

[gerredtor]

Hello, i search a MARQUEE funktion for a B4i Label

 

[Erel]

iOS does it automatically if the text needs to be truncated.

When I have long text in a label (single line), text is truncated, no scrolling effect. I also need marquee effect for label.

Example of a regular label with long text:

Can I scroll truncated text somehow, from right to left?

 

[Erel]

No. You can however use a TextField instead and make it not editable with:

Dim no As NativeObject = textfield
no.SetField("editable", False)

TextField does support scrolling.

I need automatic scroll like this in Android

Dim r As Reflector
r.Target = Label
r.RunMethod2("setLines", 1, "java.lang.int")
r.RunMethod2("setHorizontallyScrolling", True, "java.lang.boolean")
r.RunMethod2("setEllipsize", "MARQUEE", "android.text.TextUtils$TruncateAt")
r.RunMethod2("setHorizontalFadingEdgeEnabled", True, "java.lang.boolean")
r.RunMethod2("setMarqueeRepeatLimit", "-1", "java.lang.int")
r.RunMethod2("setSelected", True, "java.lang.boolean")

There is no such feature in the native iOS label.
