SUMMARY
=======

You can use the Marquee control to add a dynamic look to your Web pages. This
article describes a method to use a control that scrolls a separate page within
the current page and creates two buttons that allow you to control the scrolling
speed of the marquee.

NOTE: You can combine ActiveX controls to add greater functionality to your Web
pages than would be possible with a single control.

Use the following steps to create a control that scrolls a separate page and uses
two buttons to control the scrolling speed of the marquee:


1. Open a Web page in FrontPage Editor.

2. On the Insert menu, point to Other Components, and then click ActiveX
  control.

3. In the Pick A Control list box, click MarqueeCtl Object.

4. In the Name box, enter a name for the MarqueeCtl Object. For example, type
  "Marquee" (without the quotation marks).

5. Click Properties.

6. In the Object Parameters dialog box, click Add.

7. In the Name box, enter "szURL" (without the quotation marks). Under Value, in
  the Data box, enter the following Uniform Resource Locator (URL):

  "http://www.microsoft.com" (without the quotation marks)

8. Click OK two times.

9. In the ActiveX Control Properties dialog box, click Extended.

10. Click Add.

11. In the Name box, enter "TYPE" (without the quotation marks). In the Value
  box, enter "application/x-oleobject" (without the quotation marks). Click
  OK.

12. Click OK two more times.

13. On the Insert menu, point to Form Field, and then click Push Button.

14. Right-click the form field, and then click Form Field Properties.

15. In the Name box, enter "BtnFast" (without the quotation marks). In the
  Value/Label box, enter "Fast"(without the quotation marks). Click Normal.
  Click OK.

16. Repeat steps 13 and 14.

17. In the Name box, enter "BtnSlow" (without the quotation marks). In the
  Value/Label box, enter "Slow" (without the quotation marks). Click Normal.
  Click OK.

18. Right-click the form area, and click Script Wizard.

19. In the Event pane, double-click BtnSlow, and then click onClick. In the
  Action pane, double-click Marquee, and then double-click ScrollDelay.

  The following code appears in the Script pane:

         Sub BtnSlow_Onclick
         Marquee1.ScrollDelay

20. Place the insertion point immediately following the "Marquee1.ScrollDelay"
  code and type "=200" (without the quotation marks), so that the code looks
  like this:

         Sub BtnSlow_Onclick
         Marquee1.ScrollDelay=200

21. In the Event pane, double-click BtnFast, and then click onClick. In the
  Action pane, double-click Marquee, and then double-click ScrollDelay.

  The following code appears in the Script pane:

         Sub BtnFast_Onclick
         Marquee1.ScrollDelay

22. Place the insertion point immediately following the "Marquee1.ScrollDelay"
  code and type "=0" (without the quotation marks), so that the code looks
  like this:

         Sub BtnSlow_Onclick
         Marquee1.ScrollDelay=0

23. Click OK.

When you view the page in a Web browser, the Microsoft World Wide Web home page
will scroll within the current Web page.
