HTML Devicestring in Textbox with no scrolling

[Gogs]

Not sure you can use the $SCRIPT variable multiple times in the same call? You could just use one text box for each temp?

Good idea, erm, how do I use a text box in a Marquee?

Yep - just tried it here and get the same thing. You might have found a bug that only allows one $SCRIPT command.

Yip I think so, and thats a pain.

Thanks for trying it.

Just mark Marque function as True, but I would think 3 separate scrolling boxes would be hard on the eyeballs

Thanks for the suggestion, however, I think you have missed the point.

I would like a single scrolling ling reporting all the temperatures. I already have three static text box's.

Doesn't look like that's possible with the HStouch internal commands, seems it's only going to let you make one variable call at a time?
It could be done with a script that builds the string for you perhaps using similar calls you already tried. Can't say I've tried to display the results of a call to a script, I'll have to check that out, sounds useful..
Currently it's time for a Guinness FES though

Jeez that bug is so old I forgot about it, I put it in the old helpdesk before Bugzilla even existed and it is sitting in Bugzilla as bug #54 when I copied it across. I think it is the case none of the commands in square brackets can be used more than once.

I think I would be writing a script to do it personally...just to generate the line in a device string and status track it.

Yea, thanks, I think I am going to try that route using a virtual device to build the string.

Scrolling Screen

I just found this thread and find it a bit over my head. In Designer, is it possible to create a scrolling screen other than the very structured format offered by the List Box? I have a layout that I love, but need another row.
