The thumbPosition will give you the position of the thumb relative to the endvalue of the scrollbar itself. So that if the scrollbar's endvalue is set to 100 (default) and it's halfway along, the thumbpos will be 50. If the endvalue is set to 200, it will show 100. But I'm trying to place a graphic based on the actual thumb position relative to the screen, not the scrollbar.

Hi Mark,

This isn't perfect but it's a starting point if you want to do it this way. I broke the formula down to its parts instead of doing a one-liner:

on scrollbarDrag pNewPosition
  put the left of me into tWindowOffset
  put the thumbSize of me div 2 into tThumbOffset
  put (the endValue of me - the startValue of me) into tMyUnits
  put the width of me / tMyUnits into tPixelsPerUnit
  put round(tPixelsPerUnit * (pNewPosition - tThumbOffset)) into tThumbH
  set the right of btn 1 to (tThumbH) + tWindowOffset
end scrollbarDrag


I created a button that follows the thumb around - not perfectly, but you want to tweak it anyway, right? ;o)

Hope this helps -
Phil Davis

So this is a scrollbar control, not a field. Right. I have not played with these yet, but don't I remember that there is a property that indicates the relative position of the thumb with respect to the amount of "progress" in the control, and isn't this even closer to what is needed without all that stuff I mentioned?

That won't work in this case as it's just a horizontal scrollbar not
attached to a field or group.
