Hi, I'm trying to get some text to show up simulating a slide effect.
This is the code I'm using to get there but I'd like the text to reappear on the right and I can't seem to do that.
Any ideas?

Code:

OPTION decimalsep,.
%%SlidePos = 1
%%SlideWidth = 100
%%Texto = Esta es una cadena de texto que no entra en el recuadro y necesita un slide
DIALOG CREATE,Slide Text,-1,0,661,160
DIALOG ADD,STYLE,display,Verdana,16
DIALOG ADD,LINE,LINE1,56,80,496,48
DIALOG ADD,TEXT,TEXT1,70,100,448,24,,,display
DIALOG SHOW

:Menu
wait 0.1,event
GOto @event()



:Timer
%%SlideText = @SubStr(%%Texto,%%SlidePos,%%SlideWidth)
if @equal(@Len(%%SlideText),1)
   %%SlidePos = 0
end
Dialog set,Text1,%%SlideTExt
%%SlidePos = @succ(%%SlidePos)
Goto Menu

:Close
Stop

So far, I've found that adding the necessary spaces before the %%Texto string using @fill() achieves the effect I want.
What I still can't find is a way to automate this for any text string without having to manually find the number of spaces...
I'll keep trying...

Happy NewYear Marcelo

Sorry I came late to see this.

But I'm curious and thinking that you want
the text to look like its RE-entering back by
way of the right side of text-line-BOX.

*Couldn't think of a way right now.

In HTML its easy by using the 'MARQUEE' command.
EXAMPLE: <you would have to convert the .jpg to TXT>
<TD width="55%" height="50">
<MARQUEE SCROLLDELAY=150 BGCOLOR=#000000 Loop=infinite DIRECTION=RIGHT><IMG SRC="Truckoil.jpg"></MARQUEE>

{maybe you already thought of this HTML idea}

Just saying in case this HTML method might give you ideas.

I like the way your doing it and maybe someone else knows
the answer to your original idea of doing it.

cheers 😎
