How to make marquee with UILabel
? (UITextField
and NSTextField
are OK too).
You need NSTimer
and you need to invoke a method something as :
*This is for OSX, you can easily convert it into iOS, NSTextField
and UILabel
has different methods.
-(void)awakeFromNib{ self.myTimer=[NSTimer new]; self.fullString=@"This is a long string to be shown."; [self.label setAlignment:NSRightTextAlignment]; } -(void)scrollText:(id)parameter{ static NSInteger len; [self.label setStringValue:[self.fullString substringWithRange:NSMakeRange(0, len++)]]; if (self.label.stringValue.length==self.fullString.length) { [self.myTimer invalidate]; } } - (IBAction)buttonAction:(id)sender { self.myTimer = [NSTimer scheduledTimerWithTimeInterval:0.2f target: self selector:@selector(scrollText:) userInfo: nil repeats:YES]; }
