Hi.
How to make scrollable text. If text longer than graphics element, it's scrolling, other way, if text not long, no scrolling
Thank you

Here is an example of how to determine the length of a text and perform different actions based on the length. However, this is not a turnkey solution to your problem, that will require a little more work on your part. There is probably also such an example in doggy's "scripting for dummies" always a worthwhile way to solve such questions. Code:dim text as string
dim count As Integer
'the next line gets a text from a title
text = input.find("Title 0- The Classic Blue.gtzip").Text("Headline.Text")
'the next line counts how many characters are in the text
count = text.length
console.writeline (text)
console.writeline (count)
If count > 10 Then
console.writeline ("count is greater than 10")
'here you could start your ticker
Else
console.writeline ("count is not greater than 10")
'here you could start your title
End If
'the console.writeline lines are only for your information in the script window
'adjust the number, in this example 10, to your needs

dim length as integer= TickerText.Length()
If length >= boxlength
API.Function("SetTextVisibleOff",Input:="textorticker.gtzip",SelectedName:="TextBlock1.Text" )
API.Function("SetTextVisibleOn",Input:="textorticker.gtzip",SelectedName:="Ticker1.Text" )
else
API.Function("SetTextVisibleOn",Input:="textorticker.gtzip",SelectedName:="TextBlock1.Text" )
API.Function("SetTextVisibleOff",Input:="textorticker.gtzip",SelectedName:="Ticker1.Text" )
end if
sleep(100)
Loop
wonder why you don't use automatic textbox resizing instead as IMO it looks weird ( to put it nicely)
