ScrollBarControl by bigbob85 on 11-14-2006 at 09:57 AM

Does anyone have any idea how to use this??

I haven't seen any scripts that use this and I can't get it to flukishly work.

EDIT :

code:
<Control xsi:type="ScrollBarControl " Id="ScrollBar">
    <Position Top="5" Width="100" Height="100" Left="5" />
    <VerticalBar></VerticalBar>
    <HorizontalBar></HorizontalBar>
</Control>

Thats as much as PlusInterface.xsd requires (I think).

EDIT 2 :

code:
<Control xsi:type="ScrollBarControl" Id="ScrollBar">
    <Position Top="5" Width="100" Height="100" Left="5" />
    <VerticalBar></VerticalBar>
</Control>

Fixed the space, and only have one Bar thing. I can put it there, but don't see anyway to use it yet, anyone got any ideas?

Not all controls are usable by scripts.

You'll probably need to use SendControlMessage along with SBM_* messages. Search for MSDN Library for details :)

I tried previously didn't work, the scrollbar wouldn't change when I clicked it, I set the Max and Min values and clicking it wouldn't change the position..

SBM_* Messages

I also gave this a try once and even had a go at attaching it to a textbox that you couldn't see al of it but it didn't work (it made the scrollbar like one pixel wide if i remember rightly).  I thought it was me doing something wrong but maybe not...

it's usable as every other control with windows messages, hwoever, scrollbars are a pain in the bottom, even in C++ programs, they're just miles from being user friendly. Here's a piece of code from Plus! that may help you.

code:
SCROLLINFO infoScroll; ZeroMemory(&infoScroll, sizeof(infoScroll));
        infoScroll.cbSize = sizeof(SCROLLINFO);
        infoScroll.fMask = SIF_DISABLENOSCROLL|SIF_PAGE|SIF_POS|SIF_RANGE;
        infoScroll.nPage = rcOptionsArea.Height();
        infoScroll.nMax = pOptionsWnd->m_nRealHeight;
        infoScroll.nPos = pOptionsWnd->m_nCurrentScrollPos;
        if(infoScroll.nMax <= (int)infoScroll.nPage)
        {
            ::EnableScrollBar(wndScroll, SB_CTL, ESB_DISABLE_BOTH);
            wndScroll.ShowWindow(SW_HIDE);
        }
        else
        {
            ::EnableScrollBar(wndScroll, SB_CTL, ESB_ENABLE_BOTH);
            wndScroll.ShowWindow(SW_SHOW);
        }

        :: SetScrollInfo(wndScroll, SB_CTL, &infoScroll, TRUE);
