control hscroll of one field by another field

[Da_Elf]

I would like that when i scroll one field another field with automatically scroll along with the first field. Its because i want to have a title field for rows in a table that will remain on top when scrolling down but when scrolling sideways the titles in the upper field will remain locked with the rows in the table. in excel it would be like clicking "freeze panes"

This is done by setting the scroll of your "slave" field to the scroll of your "master" field. Put this in the script of the "master":

Code: Select all

on scrollbarDrag
   set the scroll of fld 2 to the scroll of me
end scrollbarDrag

Now this assumes, for example, that the textSize of each field is the same. You can probably see why. Of course, one can fix that as well.

Right?

Hi.

...i was using set hscroll of fld "title" ...

You probably could, but the message is the thing, not the property, if you know what I mean.
