hello world!

i am trying to make a section of a gui scrollable to fit icons within the frame space allocated. the gui is resizable so if the icons don't fit then thats when the scrollbar should help, if the icons fit the scroll bar should disappear. i tried using Melba's UDF but have not been able to get it working.

i would also like to make it scroll vertically only not horizontally.

here is melba's udf

and below is the working example script

thanks in advance!!

We can code it to scroll horizontally as well - you just need to fix the horizontal limit. Give it a try and come back if you run into problems. :)

actually one thing.. how do i make the scroll bar dissappear if it's not needed (bc the icons fit in the re-sized space)??

Posted

also if i create 100 buttons then create 10.. there's plenty of whitespace left at the top.. would $iY have to be reset to something else after its done drawing?

gcue,

1. Scrollbar disappearing when not needed: :)

; Create scrollbatrs if needed
If $iRows_Required > $iVert_Limit Then
    _GUIScrollbars_Generate($hGUI_Child, 0, $iRows_Required * $iSpacing, 0, 0, True)
Else
    _GUIScrollBars_ShowScrollBar($hGUI_Child, $SB_VERT, False)
EndIf

2. I am not sure I understand the problem. There is never any whitespace within the child GUI - but there is whitespace between the buttons and the child. You can adjust this by changing the position of the child within the main GUI. Is that what you want? :huh:

gcue,

I understand now. :thumbsup:

Add this command at the top of the function:

Func CreateBtns()

    _GUIScrollbars_Scroll_Page($hGUI_Child, -1, 1) ; <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<

    DeleteBtns()

Now the scrollbars are reset to the top before we create the new buttons. :)

You should always leave something for the student to discover for themselves! :graduated:
