Introduction

TTMSFNCWidgetMarqueeContinousProgress displays a revolving animation to indicate that a process is going on. The animation consists of 3 highlighted sections that revolve around the circle as shown in the screenshot above. This widget does not show any value of the progress. To make it revolve, you need to set its MarqueeAnimation property active.

Features

  • Eye-catching animation to show the status text of a running process with a set of revolving highlighted sections
  • Properties to customize the number of sections, thickness and gap.
  • Properties to customize the all the colors in the sections
  • Option to display a Caption text at the top or bottom

When you set a caption, the size of the widget is reduced to make space for the caption.
