Hi Don,

Nice tool and great work.

When I tested, it looks like there is an issue with the TextColor. Whatever color we specify, it displays the text in White color only. The background color can be changed and it is working fine.

I tried to change the Text color from code as well as from Designer too, unfortunately it has no effect.

B4X: 
#AdditionalRes: ..\res.MarqueeView

Sub Process_Globals
    'These global variables will be declared once when the application starts.
    'These variables can be accessed from all modules.

End Sub

Sub Globals
    'These global variables will be redeclared each time the activity is created.
    'These variables can only be accessed from this module.

    Private Marquee As MarqueeView
End Sub

Sub Activity_Create(FirstTime As Boolean)
    'Do not forget to load the layout file created with the visual designer. For example:
    Activity.LoadLayout("Layout1")
  
  
End Sub

Sub Activity_Resume
    Dim marquees As List
    marquees.Initialize
    marquees.AddAll(Array As String("DonManfred presents","MarqueeView",":-)",""))
    Marquee.startWithList(marquees)
    Marquee.TextColor = Colors.Yellow 'Doesn't have any effect. Tried in Designer too
    Marquee.Color = Colors.Red

End Sub

Sub Activity_Pause (UserClosed As Boolean)

End Sub

Edit : Another issue noticed is that the content (list) cannot be changed during run time. It doesn't get reflected in the view

Regards
Anser

due to the source i would answer:

set the new notices obj.Notices = newlist and then call start

i´ll investigate your other issue later....

One thing that I noticed is that

Instead of
B4X: 
    Dim marquees As List
    marquees.Initialize
    marquees.AddAll(Array As String("DonManfred presents","MarqueeView",":-)",""))
    Marquee.startWithList(marquees)
    Marquee.TextColor = Colors.Yellow 'Doesn't have any effect. Tried in Designer too
    Marquee.Color = Colors.Red

If I change the code as follows then the color is changed ie the color is assigned before the START
B4X: 
    Dim Marquees As List
    Marquees.Initialize
    Marquees.AddAll(Array As String("DonManfred presents","MarqueeView",":-)",""))    
    oMarqueeView.TextColor = Colors.Black
    oMarqueeView.Color = Colors.DarkGray     
    oMarqueeView.Notices = Marquees
    oMarqueeView.start

So the issue is resolved

V1.0.1 does have some customproperties now. See #1

For the color. you need to set the color first and then add items and use start.

Hello!!. First of all, thanks for your work.

I'm trying your example with both librarys and I apologised than it works with versión 1.0, but not with version 1.01.

With the new versión, set textcolor using the designer is needed to can run then program whitout error.
