Scrolling Text Labels for Overflow Text

Hi! I have a text label in a RecordsGallery filter that will most-likely overflow with the amount of text but I don't want it to be a two-line label. I have a working scrolling text function for X but it's still a little wonky...

Here's my wish-list:

Scrolls through the whole text, not just some
Resets/restarts automatically
Stays within the text label form and doesn't travel the whole width of the gallery filter; so starts and stays at X = 70
Here's my X value so far: If(Len(Title1.Text) * Title1.Size > Parent.Width, 70 - Mod(Timer1.Value / 10, Parent.Width + Len(Title1.Text) * Title1.Size), 70)

Please find an attached video of the current behavior and thank you so much for lending your expertise!

Cool effect.. but I think you can achieve this with Sine wave function of X axis with a timer that start reset automatically. this will allow to repeat the cycle and perform a revolving effect.

@apettit Hi,

I share one approach.

Timer:

Duration= Len(TextCanvas1.Text)*100

Repeat = true // It will repeat when reach the text length.

TextInput: (if you use classic, assign Text rather than Value)

Value =

Mid(

TextCanvas1.Text & " " & TextCanvas1.Text, // duplicate with space buffer

Max(1, Mod(Timer1.Value / 100, Len(TextCanvas1.Text) + 5)), // scrolling index

50 //change this according to your control width.

)

see my attached gif.
