I'm using a number of paired fields as tables with a thin field
acting as the table headings and a body field holding the main
content of a given table. Most of the tables only need vertical
scrolling. However, some of these have content that is too wide for
the available window space. Therefor I'm grouping such a pair of
fields and making the "titles" field scroll sideways whenever the
main field is horizontally scrolled by the user.
The body field ("Table" say) uses the following key handler:
on scrollbarDrag
set the hScroll of field (short name of me & "Title") to the hScroll of me
end scrollbarDrag
The titles field ("TableTitle" say) uses the following key handler:
on mouseUp
lock screen
set the hScroll of field replaceText(short name of me,"Title","") \
to the hScroll of me
unlock screen
end mouseUp
Both fields have identical tab stop settings and set to use
horizontal scrollbars. The body field overlays the scrollbar of the
title field so it looks like a traditional table.
The problem I'm having is that if I have "columns" off to the right
(outside the current visible area) and scroll the body field, it
doesn't always scroll the title field which behaves as if it doesn't
have entries for the missing columns. It only seem to work fully
when the currently visible columns exactly align with the right hand
edge of the field.
I'm using MC2.3 (the released version not the beta) on the Mac & Win
by the way.
Any ideas or suggestions please?!
