ScrollBar -Set Slider position with script - Solved

[DR White]

How does one set the Slider position of a ScrollBar with script from a button?

I have tried the code below, but none work:

on mouseUp
set newValue of scrollbar "BooksScrollBar" to 2000
end mouseUp

also tried:

on mouseUp
set vscroll of scrollbar "BooksScrollBar" to 2000
end mouseUp

also tried:

on mouseUp
set field of scrollbar "BooksScrollBar" to 2000
end mouseUp

Definitely Need Help.

Thanks,

David

Hi,
The property you are looking for is the thumbPosition

Code: Select all

on mouseUp
set thumbPosition of scrollbar "BooksScrollBar" to 2000 
end mouseUp

Hope this helps,
Andrew

Hi David,

Sometimes a little detective work is required. If you had looked up "scrollbar" in the dictionary, you would have found a bunch of leads. And under the "object" type, which is the most pertinent if you think about it, you would have found an example using "thumbposition". You may not have immediately know what that meant, but that is how it is done.

Pay particular attention to the "see also" section of any dictionary entry. Those links are invaluable, and often lead to what you really need.
