I found the scrollbar ranges to be a rather awkward limitation for an application I was working on because the fox tools throw away half the number range... and so are limited to 31 bit range in the default FXScrollbar FXint range of fox-1.0.30. As a work-around, I made modified versions of fox FXScrollArea, FXScrollbar and FXTable that use a 64 bit FXlong instead of their 32 bit FXint so I could get at least get a full 32 bit range of values from the scrollbar.
Seems like a small rewrite could also let you get a 32 bit range from an FXuint. In general, I'd rather not muck around with rescaling a scrollbar output. I'd rather set its range of values and its page and increment values and have it directly return the value range I'm working with. Seems like a rewrite using templates could extend the usefulness of the classes if the scroll areas and scrollbars by providing a user specified type and range applied to the Scrollbar range, pos and dragpoint variables. Another possible fixup would be to provide a universally large default implementation or range, pos and dragpoint using a bignum implementation, then have the user specify the range of values. I imagine some scientists out there would like to have a quad floating point range too ... so again back to thinking about a template rewrite to enhance the capabilities.
