The TMarquee component displays scrolling text in a separate area. This is known from many internet pages. The TMarquee component provides three different scroll modes (scroll, blink, bounce). Also, it doesn't scroll by character, but by a specified number of pixels (smooth scrolling). The very special thing about TMarquee is that it accepts text of virtually unlimited length. It has been tested on several readme files that were about 80 KB in size and didn't cause any problems. The component can automatically strip control codes from the scrolling text and replace it with a different character.
This component was tested and modified for Delphi 5 compatibility!
