Description
CTextScroller is a smart control that can be placed in an About dialog. The text is automatically formatted to fit the client rectangle.
How to Use CTextScroller
- Include TextScroller.h and TextScroller.cpp in your project.
- Use the wizard to create a static control. Call it anything but IDC_STATIC and add a member variable for it.
- Change the declaration of this member and set it:
CTextScroller m_Static;

Conclusion
I tested this control only in applications running on Windows XP, but I guess there won’t be any problems using it in other environments.
