1. [Win32Lib] scroll a window with text?
If I have a window with scroll bars, and have "filled" the window with text,
is there a way to make that text *scroll* via the scroll bars??? I mean
other than re-writing the text from a new top line as is done in example 12,
colored text & re-drawing the window?

Dan, this does it for me...
idList =
create(List,"",mainWindow,0,0,screenWidth-2*widthFrame,sh-85,WS_SCROLLBARS),

George,
I'd neglected to notice that one, but I'd already found & used WS_VSCROLL &
WS_HSCROLL, and all either WS_SCROLLBARS or the two h-v does for me is put
scrollbars on the window, it doesn't "automatically" cause scrolling of text
in the window on use.
Do you get actual text scrolling??

Derek,
Thanks, I'll give it a try & see if it's faster than re-writing all the text
from a variable.

well, i guess i don't know exactly what you're trying to do.
if you're adding items to the list and want it to scroll up as you add them
to the bottom, then i think you'll have to do that yourself.

George,
As Derek pointed out, I didn't notice that you're referring to scrolling a
LIST, whereas I'm trying to get a WINDOW full of text to scroll. Sorry for
the confusion.

7. Re: [Win32Lib] scroll a window with text?
Derek,
Actually, your example 12b already uses bitBlt in it, working just fine, but
only with the cursor keys. I'd try to make it work with scrollbar, but I
don't understand what to use for "pageSize" in:
--/proc setWindowScrollRange ( id, typeScroll, min, max, pageSize)
Oh, and the html doc doesn't jump to the link for that procedure.
And since Topica is going to be down for who knows how long, better reply
direct, sigh!

9. Re: [Win32Lib] scroll a window with text?
Could the person who contributed the procedure
"setWindowScrollRange" to Derek for Win32Lib
(or anyone else who might know),
explain what exactly to use for the "pageSize" parameter?
The "setWindowScrollRange" procedure is defined thusly:
global procedure setWindowScrollRange(integer id, integer typeScroll,
integer min,
integer max, atom pageSize)
-- Martin : sets scroll range for window scrolbar
-- type idenitifies scrollbar -
-- SB_HORZ : window horizontal sb
-- SB_VERT : window vertical sb
-- SB_CTL : control (same as setScrollRange)
-- (maybe replace this with setHScrollRange, etc.)
-- pageSize specifies size of one page (allows set size of proportional
scrollbar)
Alternatively, is it possible to use "global procedure setScrollRange" to
set the scrollbars' ranges for a window? It looks like the code for the
procedure makes it possible, but I don't know how to involve & distinguish
horizontal & vertical scrollbars; I see "lMsgCode = SB_VERT" & its sibling
in the code for "if the control is a window", but I can't see how they are
presented or made available to the procedure.
tia,
Dan Moyer

Derek,
Somebody must be experimenting with slowing electronic transmissions down,
'cause when I sent this one you're responding to I didn't *have* your email
with info about your work with scrolling. Wasn't a matter of not *reading*
it, I hadn't *received* it at that point in time.
Not sure exactly how the time stamps work, but here's my send info for this
one you're replying to, & below it is my receive info for the one from you
to me that I just now read:
