1. Scrollbar 'Handle' Size

Hi all, Is there a way to change the size of the 'handle' (I don't know what it's called in MS Windows parlance) in a window's scrollbar so that it doesn't have to be dragged the full height of the window just to move down a few pixels? Just what is that hicky-doo called anyway? -Ron T.

--0-582014887-1033446950=:57312 Yes, it is possible, but its a pain. I might still have some old code to do this laying around in one of my folders. I will see if I can dig it up somewhere. It involves a bit of math, but nothing too fancy. And that doo-hickey's technical term is 'Scroll Box' (or sometimes called a 'thumb').

Hi Ron, see setWindowScrollRange() in the 0.57.x win32lib tree. It has paramter pageSize to set this. For example, if your window has scroll range 0..99, and pageSize=50, the thumb size is half the scrollbar.

--0-1378202356-1033502219=:89139 Bah! Dont have the code anymore. So much for posting a complete example. If your boned up on the Windows API then I can point you in the right direction though. Setting the Scroll Box's size revolves around two APIs. GetScrollInfo and SetScrollInfo. In each of these, the LPSCROLLINFO structure contains a field called nPage which needs to be changed. Pages size refers to how many visible lines (verticle) or characters (horizontal) will fit in a window given a certain size. The math is simple enough. If an edit control has 50 lines in it and can display 10 given its current size; its Min should be 1, its Max should be 50 and nPage 10. Which would make the Scroll box 1/5th the total size of the Scoll bar. Hope this helps.

Hello, Been a while since Ive posted anything due to physical disabilities. Here is a bit of code I used in my WinAPI5 demo that can be D/Led from RDS contrib page: http://www.rapideuphoria.com/winapi5.zip and this is the code you should be looking at: elsif iMsg = WM_HSCROLL then scroll_param = LOWORD(wParam) if scroll_param = SB_THUMBTRACK or scroll_param = SB_THUMBPOSITION then orgX = HIWORD(wParam) if orgX < 0 then orgX = 0 end if elsif scroll_param = SB_LINERIGHT then if orgX < vxScreen-peek4s(rect_Right) then orgX += 1 end if elsif scroll_param = SB_LINELEFT then if orgX > 0 then orgX -= 1 end if elsif scroll_param = SB_PAGERIGHT then if orgX + 15 < vxScreen-peek4s(rect_Right) then orgX += 15 end if elsif scroll_param = SB_PAGELEFT then if orgX > 0 then if orgX - 15 > 0 then orgX -= 15 else orgX -= 1 end if end if end if poke4(sifMask, SIF_POS) poke4(sifPos, orgX) ok = c_func(xSetScrollInfo,{hwnd, SB_HORZ, si, 1}) return c_func(xInvalidateRect, {hwnd, NULL, 0}) elsif iMsg = WM_VSCROLL then scroll_param = LOWORD(wParam) if scroll_param = SB_THUMBTRACK or scroll_param = SB_THUMBPOSITION then orgY = HIWORD(wParam) if orgX < 0 then orgX = 0 end if elsif scroll_param = SB_LINEDOWN then if orgY < vyScreen-peek4s(rect_Bottom) then orgY += 1 end if elsif scroll_param = SB_LINEUP then if orgY > 0 then orgY -= 1 end if elsif scroll_param = SB_PAGEDOWN then if orgY + 15 < vyScreen-peek4s(rect_Bottom) then orgY += 15 end if elsif scroll_param = SB_PAGEUP then if orgY > 0 then if orgY - 15 > 0 then orgY -= 15 else orgY -= 1 end if end if elsif scroll_param = SB_TOP then orgY = 0 elsif scroll_param = SB_BOTTOM then orgY = (vyScreen/2) + peek4s(rect_Bottom) - 65 end if poke4(sifMask, SIF_POS) poke4(sifPos, orgY) ok = c_func(xSetScrollInfo,{hwnd, SB_VERT, si, 1}) return c_func(xInvalidateRect, {hwnd, NULL, 0}) Maybe helpfull to a non-Win32liber out there... maybe someone could wrap this up in the lib?
