Re: Stupid Programming Challenge(Barry Barber)
Thanks Jan and Scott for your patience. It was not wasted time as I am actually trying to put together a stack with lots of scrolling groups full of small images. The idea of custom graphic scollers appeals to me a lot, I shall try to get to grips with this.:) OT.Is there a way on this list to use entities in names with accented characters as I seem to see a lot of question marks e.g., S?lid, Andr? etc.?(the last ones for real) Thanks again Barry -- Scopri subito RAS FullCasa: vinci 500 di buoni Mediaworld a settimana ed un viaggio Expedia! http://click.libero.it/ras29nov06 ___ use-revolution mailing list use-revolution@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
Re: Stupid Programming Challenge (Barry Barber)
Hello again, Seeing as all the experts are now agreed on the script for a proportional thumb on a scrollbar, may I ask a stupid beginners question? Why did Scott Rossi use a separate scrollbar and routine? I thought the method was to click the 'Vertical scrollbar' box in the Basic properties of the Group master. When I did this I got a proportional scrollbar which scrolled to end of the list without scriptng anything - of which I am not yet capable, anyway!.;-( Of course there will be some technical reason which I will not understand but would love to know.

The stack contains a button to randomly populate a scrolling group, and the initScrollbar routine is stored in the button. go url http://www.tactilemedia.com/download/sbfix.rev; --- Thanks to all for the valuable info I pick up here everyday.

RE: Stupid Programming Challenge (Barry Barber)
Because of customisation and control. Want to make a flashy custom scrollbar with a proportional thumb and your own graphics? Well, this is it. (The stack I created as a result of the thread is called customPropsScrollbar and is available at rev online under the user name Jan Selid) Regards, Jan ___ use-revolution mailing list use-revolution@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution

Guess I should answer... :-) Normally, there probably isn't much need for a separate scrollbar control. In my case, I was trying to emulate a solution I didn't know about: trying to use a miniscrollbar with a scrolling group. Mark Schonewille pointed out that one can set the scrollbarWidth of the group to the desired value (13) to get the miniscrollbar effect, which is great. But I'm doing some pixel-precise positioning of UI elements in my stack where the group's built-in scrollbar doesn't quite fit the way I need it to. So using the separate scrollbar is a good solution for me. Another example could be a shared space scrollbar. For example, in some applications, a horizontal scrolling region can span the width of a window, but the scrollbar only spans a portion of the overall width so that other controls/displays can appear in-line alongside the scrollbar. This type of shared space is where a custom-sized scrollbar can be very useful.
