I don't see that here. A new scrollbar has a startvalue of 0 and an endvalue of 65535. Arrow click is 512. Thumb position is 0. (But you normally don't have to set the thumbposition in the inspector.) There is no value at all for barclick, nor should there be in a little arrows scrollbar.
The property inspector wont even allow /me/ to enter a minus sign.
That's right. The values must be positive integers. The start value (which is normally 0 for most things) and end value (the number the scrollbar tops out at) represent the range. You can't have a negative range; that is, you can't have a starting point that is less than nothing.
Worse, if I change them both to 1, and then click off the the scrollbar and then immediately click it again, the properties window has set them to -1 again! If I change them both to 4, the propery window changes them to -4! What the ...?
I'm not sure why you are getting the weird behavior, but the arrow click (in Transcript, the "lineInc") represents the amount the scroll will change each time the user clicks the up or down arrows. For a little arrow scrollbar, this is the only value that really matters because the thumb area of the scrollbar is not visible. You won't need to worry about the bar click value (the "pageInc"); don't mess with it. On larger scrollbars, the bar click value is the amount the scrollbar will move when the user clicks in the bar itself. That usually represents a page-worth, or a field's-worth.
You can't set the the thumb to move a negative distance. The amount of change must be a positive number. The scrollbar control itself manages the direction of the change.
I remember your previous post about thinking little scrollbars behaved backwards. Are you trying to set it to a negative so it will work in reverse? That'd be a neat work-around, but you can't do it.
This dang control was working just an hour ago, and without me doing any editing at all, it just magically starts to screw up. Is this an issue only with the Trial version? This control type is litterly useless for me.
No, it isn't due to the trial version. Something else may be interfering. I'd try deleting the scrollbar entirely and making a new one; you should get the default values back that way.
