Scrolling text became a real pain..?

Hi I am working on c# 2005 with a scrolling application.At first I use some of these

http://www.codeproject.com/KB/miscctrl/ScrollingTextControlArtic.aspx

but all of them cannot help me much.My application contains 7timers.At the time of running it the scrolling panel looks so irritating(read not at all smooth). so I finally tried with a simple panel ,a label and a timer,this also not working (i mean not smooth).

Can there be any other way rather then using timer,to scroll a text.

Solution

  • Hard to say what is wrong with your scrolling without any code but you will get much smotther scrolling by using Double Buffering. Read more here: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/system.windows.forms.control.doublebuffered

    But there is limitation how much "animation" you can do with windows forms and have it smooth. Using DirectX or Silverlight will be better for graphics.
