Browse and scroll effect

[Robert Iliuta]

Hallo,


Is there a way to obtain the scroll effect on a browse? Like the page loaded but to have a scroll on the right side of the table. (Like in Clarion)
Thank you for any suggestions.

yes.
5.06 introduced resizable browses (which in turn imply browses with scroll bars).
This feature is very new though - and not documented yet.

See "resizable" checkbox on Options tab.

Cheers

Hallo Bruce,

Installed 5.06 and play with resizeable options but never got an scroll effect.... Is there any example or any other tips to get this effect?

Thank you,
Robert

[Bruce]

no, I haven't documented, or exampled this yet.

Hi Robert
I played with it. The scroll effect appears to work within a  record. i.e. if the record field is greater than the allowed space you get a scroll, it doesn't scroll from 1 record to another which is what you probably wanted?

Hallo Terry,


You have Loading method: File or Page?
I need the effect like in Clarion when you have a browse with Loading method: File and vertical scroll effect.

Do you get this in web browse?

Thank you,
Robert

Hi Robert/Bruce
I have found a side effect of the resizeable check box, all the buttons insert, change etc disappear so I think we need to wait for Bruce to example it. I also need it for my external websites where I have e.g. news in a div. I think it looks more "webish" to have a scroll bar moving from record to record rather than the first,next,previous,last buttons. This would also take up less real estate especially where the width of the div is restricted.

I do this scroll effect now only for browse without update buttons. I do with iframe. If you have buttons you need to scroll down at the end of the file to see the buttons.
Hope Bruce will improve this.

Yes, the scroll area works (in my development app) across the lines of the browse.
ie like a clarion list box, where there are more records in the scrollable area than you can see.
The browse buttons are "outside" the scrollable area.

You can of course use this in a file-loaded browse, however bear in mind that this means all
the records are included in the page - which might make for a large page.

I'm using it in a page-loaded browse at the moment, but I've set the page limit quite high.

Hallo Bruce,

It works in 5.06? Or it will be available in 5.07? Tested in 5.06 and it doesn't work.
What are the settings?

Hi Robert,

It's not in 5.07 - or at least it's no different to 5.06.
I'll add an example, and some docs, as soon as I can.

cheers
Bruce
