Hi,

Is there any way to stop a scrolling field from automatically jumping to text that has been selected/highlighted? I am using a script to highlight an item in a list and then want to use an animation script to smoothly scroll it to the location. But what happens is that it jumps to the highlighted text, jumps back to it's original position then scrolls to the highlighted text. I know I could put a lock screen before and after the jump but sometimes it happens while the emulated wheel (in iOS) is still scrolling and would still cause a jump.

So, how do we turn off the 'scroll to highlighted' function (as I call it)?

Thanks
Pi

Hi,

This should work:

Code: Select all

lock screen
put the scroll of fld x into myScroll
set the hilitedLine of fld x to y
set the scroll of fld x to myScroll
unlock screen
-- your animation here

Perhaps you could make sure that the emulated wheel isn't scrolling anymore, before you select the line? Do you have any references to that emulated wheel?

Kind regards,

Mark
