Create Custom Scrollbar

Post by charms » Fri Apr 18, 2014 1:56 pm

Hello,

I'm trying to create a custom scrollbar. I followed this tutorial:
http://runrev.screenstepslive.com/s/les ... m-controls

The tutorial however just explains the basics under the hood. So I have downloaded the example but with LiveCode 6.6.1 it doesn't seem to work anymore. As soon I click the "Update" button with the default values then the slider crunches together and only one of the end buttons remains visible. When I try to resize then it does nothing else then changing it's position.

Before I start to dig in to the code of this tutorial and try to fix things, is there a good up-to-date tutorial how to create a custom scrollbar? Or a working example stack?

Thanks,
Chris

Hi Klaus,

Thanks, this one works better. Vertical doesn't seem to work. But I'll try to figure that one out.

Thanks for the example.

Kind regards,
Chris
