How do I use javascript or xaml with C#

Bobby Oakes

Hi.

I have a windows project containing a Rich text box.

I would like to have the text in the Rich text box control scroll up like a marquis. Going from the bottom of the text box to the top.

Is it possible to do this with Xaml or javascript?

I've used javascript outside of .net a few times and never used XAML

But i would like to.

Please help

Thanks

Bobby Oakes

Yes, it is often difficult to find things in the C# Corner articles. I seriously wish that were improved. I hope the new software will be the improvement we want.

Sorry, Sam. I'd have been happy to recommend your article if I'd known about it.

When no articles on marquee text scrolling appeared in the 'recommended articles' in the sidebar to the right, I concluded that there couldn't be any on this site. However, I've just noticed that Bobby referred to it as a 'marquis' rather than a 'marquee' which probably explains why it doesn't show up :)

Vulpes, the moderators ask that we refer people to the articles in this web site whenever relevant. I really think that my Scrolling Text Marquee Control is worth mentioning. Do you disagree? If you have suggestions for how to improve it then I am very interested, since it is a popular article.

When you say it's a windows project I assume you mean 'Windows Forms'.

XAML is only used in Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF) and Silverlight applications which are different technologies.

Javascript can't be used for Windows Forms applications (at least not directly) but can be used for client side scripting of web applications.

If you want to create a marquee effect (which scrolls horizontally) for Windows Forms then, rather than mess with the RichTextBox, I'd use a custom control such as this one:

If you want to scroll a RichTextBox vertically, then check out this article:
