Hello, I was very interested in this, because it's exactly what I want to do... But, I am wondering how can you do this so that it is even more like iTunes?... What I mean is, I need to be able to sort the various columns with the little vertical arrows depending on which field was sorted and how it was sorted... The fields I have are going to be either numeric, alphanumeric, and a date in the format of "03-02-2003"...
Thanks so much! - Greg >Hi Valetia, > >There are two ways to go, depending on what you want. >1) if you're okay with 'line-per-line' scrolling of >your field, you can simply: >- create a pattern in your favourite painting app >- import it as an image >- use the 'Colors' palette to set the >backgroundPattern of the field to your imported >pattern >- set the script of the field to : > on scrollbarDrag > put the scroll of me into tScroll > put the effective textHeight of me into >tLineHeight > if (tScroll MOD tLineHeight) is not 0 then > set the scroll of me to \ > ((tScroll DIV tLineHeight) * tLineHeight) > end if > end scrollbarDrag > >2) if you want pixel-per-pixel' scrolling, things get >a bit more complicated, but it is possible ; here's >the way I did it : >- create a pattern in your favourite painting app >- import it as an image >- create a rectangle the size of the field > 'Foo' >- set its lineSize to 0 >- use the 'Colors' palette to set the >backgroundPattern of the rectangle to your imported >pattern >- group the rectangle > 'Bar' >- set the margins of group "Bar" to 0 >- set the lockLocation of group "Bar" to true >- move the group behind the field >- set the field's opaque to false >Now a few more steps are needed to make it scroll >well: >- set the script of the field to : > on scrollbarDrag > set the scroll of group "Bar" to the scroll of me > end scrollbarDrag > on InitBkgnd > put the rect of graphic "Foo" into tBgRect > put the formattedHeight of me into tHeight > add (tHeight - item 4 of tRect - item 2 of tRect) >\ > to item 4 of tRect > end InitBkgnd >- and use the message box to : > set the scroll of grp "Bar" to 1 > set the scroll of fld "List" to 1 > send "InitBkgnd" to fld "List" > >You may have to fiddle some positions a bit with >respect to the field margins, and you'll have to make >sure the list field has a fixed line height. > >Hope this helped, > >Jan Schenkel. _______________________________________________ use-revolution mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
