Quick question.
If I wanted to use a scroll bar for part of the window - say, within a
tabstrip, would the approach be to create another window and apply the
scroll bar to that?
Cheers,

Many good points and questions.
Personally, I would prefer SelectAll over Select(-1). Is it necessary? I
would say yes. Is it bloating out the module? I would say no - bloating can
become a major headache in some projects, but I would say we're a long way
from that happening.
Like you, I
Hi Jez,

Yes. Bear in mind that the scrollbars are ONLY scrollbars, they do not have any
effect on the window contents unless you
Hi,
The example below will only work on the latest code line from CVS.
I'm trying to get my head round using scroll bars. In my test example I want to
create a window containing one tab strip. In the tab strip there will be a
child window containing a scroll bar and 10 buttons. Scrolling the
You want to add the buttons to the tab, not a child window. So remove all
the child window stuff and change
$childwin-AddButton
to
$win-Tab-AddButton
and now $win will remain in focus.

Your code is bad. What you're doing is creating a floating BorderlessWindow

Thanks for all the replies/suggestions.
I have to admit I'm more confused now than I was when I started:)
I tried your suggestions Steve, I end up with something that works like an MDI
application - which is nice in itself, but not what I was after:)

Stephen, that's real nice with the MDI thing. However, there are a few
questions:

the buttons ( I added the -controlbox property), the other

Is it idiomatic? Traditionally in Perl, indexing with -1 means one

the end of the array. And -1 is kind of magic (in a bad way), whereas
SelectAll is very explicit, clear and obvious in a nice way.

I'm using the latest version of TGL v0.21 -- r2004-01-03 on Windows 2000.
I can't set any checkbox properties using the gui.. (Enable or Visible
properties for example).
This was working great in previous release anything broken?

Whoa there, slow down...
This is NOT an MDI thing. This is a cheap hack to get Jez's problem solved.
Don't use it unless you have to.
if the title bars do not become active, remove the WS_CHILD style.
if things are clipping what they shouldnt, add the WS_CLIPSIBLINGS style.
I added new
Glenn,
I haven't really used the NEM much yet, but when I knocked up a small
test script this morning with the new model I found that accelerators
didn't work. Had you noticed this or can you confirm it? If so, is it a
bug with accelerators themselves or some underlying feature of the
system?
Stephen, see comments inline:

Sorry, I have not thrown any weight towards the discussion on Select(-1) et al,
personally I would disagree that it is counter-intuitive, as user functions
such as this one rarely behave like Perl arrays do anyway. I would say that
Select(-1) is perfectly viable, but for readability I would say
is it possible to use a scroll bar within a window, and not on one of it's
edges?
Yes, it is. Although I did not implement this yet. What you get when you do it
is one of those scrollbars where the scroll handle blinks on focus. It is
theoretically possible to add scrollbars to anything, but
Oh, sorry, bugfix,
line 83 add:
$scrollarea-Left(0 - $scrollwindow-ScrollPos(0));
Helps if you keep tracking the scrollbar during resize :)
This stops weird behaviour if you scroll then resize the window.

Impressive.
It'll take me a bit longer to understand what is actually going on:)
This is *really* useful. This example should be included in the next build.
Thanks,
jez.
