Scroll one line only

[ctesla75]

Hi All,
Have just got flowcode v9 mainly to play with esp32. I am trying to scroll just the first line of a display and keep the second line static. I have seen it done in C but I am wanting to do it in flowcode as I am not a C programmer
Thanks

Here is my attempt ,My idea was to clear the line i wanted to be static and reprint it at the same posistion after scrolling the whole display

Hi,
I am sure there is a better way but this does what I think you want.

This is one way: Oops - too slow - now this is another way...

I've gone with a 'rotating' message - but you could just print relevant part of string.

HI RGV250,
Thanks for the reply, your code seems to do what i want but i cannot figure how to modify it i wanted the bottom line to be static
i tried changing the position in the cursor without luck, I also wanted the display to rotate and put an if statement tom jump out of it, instead of looping 16 times

Glad to help..

The text displayed is scrollText (a local variable in main) - the 'abcde' is set in it's definition - I've modified to set in a calculation block. Note that to allow longer strings - untick 'make a local copy' in the display macro and use the length of the string instead of 16 too..

Something like:

Note that the string passed needs to have at least 16 characters as the code stands..

Hi,
I have swapped the lines and added a comment, I am quite new to Flowcode so will need read up a bit on how to break out as I think comparisons only work on strings.
