Scroll boxes in OPL

3 replies · 2,515 views · Started 26 October 2002

Hi forum,

maybe you could give a short advice to a newbie in OPL programming (but not programming at all!!).

I've been playing around with the helpful OPL Event core (Tnx Ewan) to get some hands on the system.

What I currently do not know (and could not find in opl 5/6 doc):
How to get/create scrollboxes to have screens larger than the physical size; respectively how does a scrollbox appear when generating more output than is fitting on screen.

What did I miss? ...or just rtfm?😮ops:

Thank you,
Markus

You can define windows bigger then the actual size.

What I do with Cartoon Today;
I draw my images on a location and when I scroll I decrease the starting x,y

At some point I even gcopy the image at a -5,-60 location.

The best way is to check out the gscroll option probably (haven't myself but I assume this is what you need😉 )

There is also a scrollbar include file created by third party developers.
you'l have to search for it because I can't remember the url.

Good luck!

Thelink for the Scroolbar OPM is as follows...
