Initialize scrolling of text at the bottom of a screen?

How do you initialize scrolling of text to be displayed at the bottom of a screen?

What do you mean scrolling of text at bottom? Do you mean in a string indicator? Or like a HTML scrolling text?

I mean how do you make a line of text move at the bottom a display screen? For example "welcome to this centre"

You mean something like this?

Not exactly. The text is in a text file. The VI reads from file. The read data and an array of string constant (-) of length 185(length of the screen) is concatinated and this string is made to scroll. Once the end of screen is reached, it scrolls again.

Hope my explanation is understandable.

This is about the simplest version you can get. It does require work with the spacing etc and isnt the cleanest scrolling but it should do what you want it to.

Hmmm... Strikes me this would be a perfect candidate for being turned into an XControl.
