Hi all,

Arrow key messages do not work for scrolling groups
on Livecode 9.6.1

Why it's not possible to scroll an image within a group
using the arrow keys?

Thanks in advance!

Hi Al,
I just tested it and works here LC 9.6.1

Code: Select all

on arrowkey pkey
if pkey = Down then
      set the vscroll of group 1 to (the vscroll of group 1) +4
end if
if pkey = up then
      set the vscroll of group 1 to (the vscroll of group 1) -4
end if
end arrowkey

Kind regards
Jean-Marc

Works for me as well, 9.6.1 on Mac OS.

Is it that the group itself moves with each arrowKey message, as opposed to its scroll? Without Jean-Marc's handlers, that is what would happen.

So the question is what is different on your end? Is the group smaller than the full extent of its scroll? If not, arrowKey will do nothing, not even move it

Now I understand.

The script should be put in the card,
not in the group.

Thanks a lot for your help!
