Hi Shalu,

you could DISABLE the scrollbar, but that is the only way
to prevent users from dragging the thumb!

Hi.

Would you like a simply terrible way to do it? I am expert in that sort of crap. Put this into the script of the scrollbar:

Code: Select all

on scrollbarDrag
   wait until the mouse is up
end scrollbarDrag

Now can you exploit this horror into a controllable method of "locking out" the control?

Code: Select all

on scrollbarDrag
   wait until the mouse is up
end scrollbarDrag

Are you sure?

Klaus,

When I say I am an expert at coding a load of crap, you cannot expect me to give all my secrets at once, eh?

Or to actually test it?

Shalu. Put this in the scrollBar script:

Code: Select all

local thumbVal

on mouseDown
   put the thumbPos of me into thumbVal
end mouseDown

on scrollbarDrag
   wait until the mouse is up
   set the thumbPos of me to thumbVal
end scrollbarDrag

Still a little "shake", though.

oops, sorry, I was not really aware of this...

Code: Select all

local thumbVal
on mouseDown
   put the thumbPos of me into thumbVal
end mouseDown

on scrollbarDrag
   wait until the mouse is up
   set the thumbPos of me to thumbVal
end scrollbarDrag

OK, still ugly, but better
