I seem to be having some problems using MC 2.2.5 with a Mac (running
MacOS 8.6) and getting a group to scroll.
Firstly, I don't seem to be able to set the thumbSize for a
scrollBar, it looks to be its default size whatever its actual size
it is set to?
However, I'm also struggling to get the behaviour I'm after. My
window layout is as follows:
----------------------------------------
| pseudo Netscape buttons bars |
| | - fixed button bar area
| |
----------------------------------------
| |^|
| |-|
| | |
| | |
| | |
| scrollable Netscape page area | | - scrollable pseudo page
| (trying to use a group for this) | |
| | | - scrollbar is not
part of group
| | |
| | |
| |_|
| |v|
----------------------------------------
| pseudo Netscape status bar | - fixed status area
----------------------------------------
The scrollable area is actually about 3-4 times larger than the
viewable area. The pseudo Netscape button and status bars are all
part of a group which sits in front of the scrollable page group,
providing a 'frame' for the page.
Whenever I try editing the page group all I can see is a fixed area
which is hard to manipulate so I can extend its length and include
additional elements such as fields, buttons, etc.
I can scroll to the top of my 'page', but whenever I try scrolling to
the bottom, I always end up with some of the group missing (and not
just the bit obscured by the bottom status bar).
Anyone able to suggest the scripting necessary to get the group to
scroll within a zone like this and how I can easily edit an oversize
group?
