| 2 | + | ||
| 3 | + | TScrollingText is a visual component for Lazarus/fpc by minesadorada@charcodelvalle.com | |
| 4 | + | ||
| 5 | + | This is a graphic panel that will display text that scrolls upwards. The effect is like the Lazarus Help/'About Lazarus' dialog Contributors tab. It is an encapsulation and addition to the IDE code in AboutFrm.pas to make a visual drop-in component. | |
