Looking for a convenient TextBlock that can scroll text like a Marquee

A MarqueeText control that uses a Storyboard and two TextBlocks to scroll text across the screen if it doesn't fit

No response

Additional info

I wrote a control like this for StrixMusic, however I think I could do it better if I took another go at it

Thanks @Avid29, sounds like a great thing for Toolkit Labs 🧪 CommunityToolkit/WindowsCommunityToolkit#4487. We'll hopefully be in a good spot later in the month to start onboarding experiments to test our infrastructure. Can give you a ping then if you want to help be a guinea pig for us to help try it out.

@michael-hawker I'd love to participate however you're offering

I've moved this to Labs @Avid29. We'll have more on how to set up a full proposal soon:tm: (early next week)

Oops, we closed the original issue. @Arlodotexe we should get the templates reset up and maybe include the new Tasklist stuff we discovered as a flat list of the checklist items components need.

Just noticed we missed the default (and incorrect) namespace VS adds due to the Uno issue:

Labs-Windows/components/MarqueeText/src/MarqueeText.cs

Line 6 in c55b3a8

namespace CommunityToolkit.Labs.WinUI.MarqueeTextRns;

Was also wondering if we should call this a MarqueeTextBlock as a name? Thoughts?
