Adding a Scrollbar
is as easy as 123…
1) “Open” you application in RscEdit.
2) Find the tFRMxxxx in your application that you
want to add a scrollbar to.
3) “Open” the tFRMxxxx .
4) Find the “fieldXXXX” that you want to
use the scrollbar with and “Open”
it.
5) Make sure that the “Scrollbar” checkbox
is checked!
6) Make note of the field “Top, left, width,
Height” values.
7) Next Select “OK”.
8) In the RscEdit Menu bar, select “New”
and “Scrollbar”
9) Enter an ID
of “123, 124, 125”, a width
of “7”,
Value of “0”, Min Value of “0”, Max Value of
“0”, and Page size of
“1”.
10) Next use the values you obtained from the fieldXXXX
for Height and Top and enter
the “Height”, “Top” values. Set the “Left”
value to (FieldLeft +FieldWidth+3)
and
ensure that this value is less than 150. If not go back to the fieldXXXX and adjust its
“width” property to value that will work.
11) Select “OK”, “OK”, and “Done”. Exit RscEdit, and your application should now have
a working scrollbar.
The easiest way I know to find the filed ID is to open your app in PDAT/ADV and
then set focus on the filed you want to have the scroll bar just temporarily.
The go back to the previous page and see what the set focus ID number is.
