You can't , but you can use when_timer_expired trigger to change the position of text/item at some interval of time.

Depending on your Forms version you can use a Java Bean to add a Scrolling Marguee to a form. You must be using Web Forms as Java Beans are not supported in Client/Server forms.

A timer will work but it creates too much network traffic between the client and the application server (if you're using Web Forms).

Look at the link Littlefoot provided. The first article tells you how to use the Java Bean (JB). You do not need any Java knowledge at all to use the JB, but you do need to update your Forms configuration (default.env and formsweb.cfg) in order to implement the JB in your form.

Basically, you need to alter the CLASSPATH in the default.env to include the full path to the JB so the Forms Runtime can find the JB. An optional step is to add the full path to the JB to the Windows Registry Oracle Forms FORMS_BUILDER_CLASSPATH. I list this as an optional step, however, if you don't complete this step the Forms Builder will report an error that it can't find the JB during Form design. You can ignore this error because it will not effect the runtime. Adding the path to the FORM_BUILDER_CLASSPATH simply eliminates the error message in Forms Builder.

Next, you need to add the JB name to the archive parameter in the formsweb.cfg. Anytime you implement a JB in a Form, the JB name must be included in the ARCHIVE parameter (if you are using the Sun/Oracle JRE) or the ARCHIVE_JINI (I think that is the name) parameter if you are using the Oracle Jinitiator. I'm not positive of the JInitiator parameter name because I haven't used Forms 10g for a couple of years and don't have it installed.

You also need to make sure you are using a compatible version of the Java Runtime Environment (JRE) for the JB you are using.

There are numerous articles on the Internet for how implement a JB in a form and the necessary setup so if you run into problems - Google (or your favorite search engine) is your best friend. Smile
