Hello,

Ive got a widget based of the quote of the day example. It all works well however i now want to be able to scroll through the text that is displayed from an Rss feed. I have tried changing my lblQuote (type) label to a scrollview however I get

Error description: Home screen widgets do not support this view

Is it possible to add this? Am I doing something wrong? If not is this a limitation of b4a? As I have seen widgets that scroll.

Are there any work arounds?

Thanks for any help given

They're probably (not having attempted a widget yet!!) just displaying a single text line, which gets updated from a list.. I would guess that ScrollViewList wouldn't work very well with a widget as it is more user driven as opposed to being system driven.

I would generate a list, of some sort. Then assign value 1, to the displayed variable. Wait a while, display next value and so on, until end, then back to 1...

Ok thanks, i decided to stick with buttons anyway, gets a little confusion when you have alot of other code and images to deal with. Think i might have been abit out of my depth for now.
