Hi Kaveh,
I think you have to play with rawkeydown
Just rename your group to "grMyGroup" and copy this script to your group script

Code: Select all

local sCurScrollGr
on mouseenter
   put "grMyGroup" into sCurScrollGr
end mouseenter

on rawkeydown pRawKey
   put "65309,65308" into tLesK
   if pRawKey is in tLesK then
      put 48 into tEmpan
      if sCurScroll <> empty then
         if the mouseloc is within the rect of group sCurScrollGr then
            if pRawKey = 65308 then
               put tEmpan into tSec
            end if
            if pRawKey = 65309 then
               put (0-tEmpan) into tSec
            end if
            set the vscroll of group sCurScrollGr to (the vscroll of group sCurScrollGr)+tSec
         end if
      end if
   else
      pass rawkeydown
   end if
end rawkeydown
Best regards

Thank you very much Jean-Marc. That works!

I was hoping there would be native support for two finger scrolling...

Glad it works :D
I see

Code: Select all

    put 48 into tEmpan
You can use the height of your btns and the margin between them to define the value of tEmpan

Hi Jean-Marc

Just a note that today I noticed that in a field in a group that I was using your code for, I could not type a capital A. Although mousedown saw the letter, it did not show in the field.

After tearing my hair out for a while, I found that the culprit was:

Code: Select all

put "65309,65308" into tLesK
   if pRawKey is in tLesK then
So Cap A is 65 and it was caught by the lines!!

I changed to:

Code: Select all

 if pRawKey is  65309 or pRawKey is 65308 then
otherwise it is working well. :-)

Hello,
"among the items of" is a useful way
...
if pRawKey is among the items of "65309,65308" then
...

get used to the fact that YOU are now the programmer and YOU are supposed to provide "native" support to your user(s)! And LC ist still a programming environment. 8)
