Scrolling Desktop Containers

Getting Started

Hi All,

As in my previous thread, Albin has taught me how to scroll web containers https://forum.xojo.com/36246-dynamic-containers-in-webdialog/p1#p296411. It is just simply creating “data containers” inside a “holding container”.

But it doesn’t seem to work the same in a desktop app. Any ideas?

Thanks in advance.

For desktop you can embed a containercontrol on a canvas.
I used this in a desktop project, it works but I still have some problems with the redraw of the label-control on Windows. On Mac it works really nice.

Okay… so I have to add a Vertical Scroll Bar and calculate everything by myself. Just wondering if it can work like webcontainer that Xojo does the magic for me…

I’ve made myself a containercontrol called CC_scroller, having a canvas and a scrollbar. It has a property to throw antoher containercontrol , let’s say a form, on it.
If you have troubles making this, I can provide you some code.

The magic comes from HTML. Desktop has no equivalent. The best you can do is create your own class so you can reuse it.
