Scrolling Text Problem

[gazeranco]

Hello

I have the following code to make a linklabel on my form scroll..

[SIZE=2]
[/SIZE][SIZE=2][COLOR=#0000ff]Private[/COLOR][/SIZE][SIZE=2] [/SIZE][SIZE=2][COLOR=#0000ff]Sub[/COLOR][/SIZE][SIZE=2] Timer1_Tick([/SIZE][SIZE=2][COLOR=#0000ff]ByVal[/COLOR][/SIZE][SIZE=2] sender [/SIZE][SIZE=2][COLOR=#0000ff]As[/COLOR][/SIZE][SIZE=2] System.Object, [/SIZE][SIZE=2][COLOR=#0000ff]ByVal[/COLOR][/SIZE][SIZE=2] e [/SIZE][SIZE=2][COLOR=#0000ff]As[/COLOR][/SIZE][SIZE=2] System.EventArgs) [/SIZE][SIZE=2][COLOR=#0000ff]Handles[/COLOR][/SIZE][SIZE=2] Timer1.Tick
[/SIZE][SIZE=2][COLOR=#0000ff]If[/COLOR][/SIZE][SIZE=2] LinkLabelRss.Left <= ([/SIZE][SIZE=2][COLOR=#0000ff]Me[/COLOR][/SIZE][SIZE=2].Left - (2 * LinkLabelRss.Width)) [/SIZE][SIZE=2][COLOR=#0000ff]Then
[/COLOR][/SIZE][SIZE=2]LinkLabelRss.Left = [/SIZE][SIZE=2][COLOR=#0000ff]Me[/COLOR][/SIZE][SIZE=2].Width
[/SIZE][SIZE=2][COLOR=#0000ff]End[/COLOR][/SIZE][SIZE=2] [/SIZE][SIZE=2][COLOR=#0000ff]If
[/COLOR][/SIZE][SIZE=2]LinkLabelRss.Left -= 10
[/SIZE][SIZE=2][COLOR=#0000ff]End[/COLOR][/SIZE][SIZE=2] [/SIZE][SIZE=2][COLOR=#0000ff]Sub
[/COLOR][/SIZE]

But it only seems to work if my form is being displayed on the left hand side of my screen, the form is fairl small about 300x100. If i move the form to the centre of the screen or to the right the scrolling stops functioning correctly, can anyone help?

this was my mistake in the first place, what its doing is where it has:

me.left - (2...

well me.left finds the left hand side of the form, which is completely wrong lol

so try replacing me.left with 0

yes, Me.Left is the location of the form's left edge on the screen.

here's how i would do it:

        LinkLabelRss.Left -= 5
        If LinkLabelRss.Left + LinkLabelRss.Width <= 0 Then LinkLabelRss.Left = Me.Width
