Sometimes, text in a Static Text or Button control can exceed the width of the control. This may be related to dynamic content retrieved from a database or built programmatically, warning messages, translations, etc. To enable the user to read the entire text, you can simply set an auto-scrolling effect!  The bottom line is wider than the control, and scrolls automatically so it can be read Note: This feature is only available from version 2025 Update 1. To make long text scroll automatically in a Static Text or Button control: - Open the control description window.
- On the "Details" tab, in "Text overflow", select "Auto scroll text".
- By default, the text will be animated using a marquee-like effect. If necessary, validate the information message.
- In the window that opens, define the animation settings:
- Refresh rate.
- Number of pixels the text moves each time it is refreshed.
- Scroll direction. Text can scroll:
- from left to right,
- from right to left,
- from bottom to top,
- from top to bottom.
- Loop animation: If the animation is played in a loop (to ensure that the text can be read), you can set a number of loops to avoid creating a visual fixation point.
- Confirm the animation settings.
- Validate the control description window.
Remarks: - Scrolling is the only type of animation available for the text.
- The animation can also be applied to new Static Text controls.
- If the text uses an ellipsis, it is removed when the animation is applied.
- The animation is applied even if the control is grayed out or inactive.
