Hi Jacque I’m thinking you are over summarising what you are doing here. For example, I expect you mean to set the hScroll of the group to the formattedWidth - the width of the group. Are you setting the contentRect appropriately before setting the hScroll of the scroller? Cheers Monte > On

Hi Jerry. please let us know if the scroll ever looks normal and stops being "Livecody". sigh. Its for this reason why I don't really consider Livecode a legit mobile development platform. Its THE best for desktop, but on mobile its still got too many warts. Every time i use the LC dictionar

The DG2's where in container mode, now i've set them in scroller. Made an ARM64 with LC950dp1-Indy, now it is getting faster, still not great, still stuttering but faster.. The field is a bit faster and the answer even more faster. The rows have fixed heights. I can try with a native field.

For the DG2 benefits, the containing group for the DG needs to be in container mode.  Also, the biggest benefit will be seen with fixed height rows.  This is something that comes with 9.5 DP 1. For the field, you may see better performance if you make it a native field. Thanks, Brian On May 28,

Check that acceleratedRendering is true for the stack, and that the group layermode is "scrolling". Datagrids are a slightly different case, LC 9.5 made some fixes for that. -- Jacqueline Landman Gay | jac...@hyperactivesw.com HyperActive Software | http://www.hyperactivesw.com On May 28, 2019
