RE: LC Roadmap
LC syntax is NOT English, and understanding the difference helps. That is really true and with LCB you are free to write any functionality. Not one programming language/development environment is perfect and to be clear: I like LiveCode very much too!

Re: scrollbar question
You have probably figured this out by now, but I just tried this on LC9.6.2(rc2) on a Mac plus Windows and setting both the lineInc and the pageInc to zero stops the user from changing the thumbPosition when clicking on the bar of the scrollbar, but doesn’t affect the dragging of the thumb. I also agree with Tom, scrollbars are pretty easy to build and customise to suit your own requirements, one advantage is the user will have the same experience on Mac and Win if that’s something you need/want.

Re: scrollbar question
For custom behavior of a scrollbar I think you need to build your own. But its not difficult from what I can tell. https://forums.livecode.com/viewtopic.php?t=20077 Have a look there, there is an example stack.

scrollbar question
Hi lust, How can I prevent the thumb of a scrollbar to move when user clicks on the scrollbar, but not on the thumb, when it's set as a slider ? I tried to trap scrollbarLineDec and scrollbarLineInc, and also to set the lineincrement to 0, but to no avail. What am I missing ? Thanks in advance. jbv ___ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode
