I am required to call an API endpoint, which is return a list of strings. This I have working.
Each item within that list is a daily announcement which is a block of text, that needs to be displaying within a scrolling parent frame. Please refer to the attached .PNG file with a screenshot of the mockup I got from our project managers.
I am not sure which is the best way to do this, as I'm relatively new to Telerik Winform UI. I am looking at either a:
DataGridView
ListControl
List of labels within a panel.
Just trying to find the most effective and simple way to do this. Any suggestions?

Hello, Clint,
RadListView is a suitable control for displaying the list of strings in the illustrated way. I have prepared a sample code snippet for your reference:
public RadForm1()
{
InitializeComponent();
this.radListView1.AllowArbitraryItemHeight = true;
this.radListView1.VisualItemFormatting += radListView1_VisualItemFormatting;
List<string> news = new List<string>();
for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++)
{
news.Add("Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Nullam tincidunt aliquam eleifend. ");
news.Add("Donec bibendum sed nibh ac laoreet. Suspendisse vehicula at elit id blandit. Cras eu facilisis metus, a malesuada ex. Nam a sem id tellus vulputate interdum.");
}
this.radListView1.DataSource = news;
}
private void radListView1_VisualItemFormatting(object sender, ListViewVisualItemEventArgs e)
{
e.VisualItem.TextWrap = true;
e.VisualItem.DisableHTMLRendering = false;
e.VisualItem.Text = "<html><b>" + DateTime.Now + "</b>" + Environment.NewLine + e.VisualItem.Data.Text;
e.VisualItem.DrawBorder = true;
e.VisualItem.BorderBoxStyle = BorderBoxStyle.FourBorders;
e.VisualItem.BorderLeftWidth = 0;
e.VisualItem.BorderTopWidth = 0;
e.VisualItem.BorderRightWidth = 0;
e.VisualItem.BorderBottomWidth = 2;
e.VisualItem.BorderBottomColor = Color.Black;
}I hope this information helps. If you need any further assistance please don't hesitate to contact me.

This is exactly what I was trying to achieve. After a day of trying I was able to use the RadListView to get it mostly looking like that, but that visual item formatting trick really made that dynamic list possible.
