New Plugin! Content-Blocks Plugin — Scrollable Content Containers for VisualNEO Win UPDATE! 3/1/26

What Is It?

Content Blocks brings fully scrollable, richly formatted content containers to VisualNEO Win. Think of it as a publication-quality content panel you can drop anywhere in your application — scrollable text, images, themed layouts, auto-scrolling marquees and image thumbnails... clickable image links — all driven by a clean set of plugin commands.

📝 Rich Text Blocks

Full RTF support —font selection, bold, italic, text color, font size, bullet lists, numbered lists
Multiple text blocks stacked vertically (or side by side in horizontal mode)
Per-block background color, border, padding etc...
Transparent block backgrounds — lets your page design show through

🖼️ Image Blocks

Embed PNG images directly in the content stream alongside text blocks
Five layout modes: Original, Stretch, Fill (center-crop), Tile, and Fit (proportional)
Per-block opacity control (0–255) via GDI+ — fade images to any transparency level
Clickable image blocks — assign a VisualNEO subroutine to any image

🔄 Auto-Scroll

Smooth timer-driven scrolling with configurable speed (0.1 to 7.0 px/tick, decimal precision)
Direction: Down, Right, Loop mode — hard-cut back to start and repeat continuously
Hide scrollbar during scroll option for a clean marquee look
Multiple containers can auto-scroll simultaneously and independently

📐 Layout & Orientation

Vertical mode — blocks stack top to bottom (classic scroll)
Horizontal mode — blocks sit side by side for ticker/carousel layouts
Configurable container padding and inter-block gap settings...
Scrollbar modes: None, Vertical, Horizontal, or Both
Custom scrollbar width — match your application's design

Don't settle for VisualNEO Win's plain simple text object... Now you can create multiple Rich Text objects in a single rectangle object and multiple png images too.

Content Blocks will change the way you display text and images in VNW.

Hope you find this plugin useful for your projects... If you encounter any problems or have any questions please respond to this topic...
Cheers
