How to create a horizontal window

Post by theoGA61d2 » Tue Nov 20, 2012 12:03 pm

Hi,

I need to create a window (card) of which the information is larger then the size of the card (think about a gant-chart). How do I create a scrollable window / card so that I can populate this an scroll left and right to display the information to the user?

Thanks

Theo

Hi Theo,

there are no scrollable windows in Livecode!

The trick is to GROUP all your objects on a card, check horizontal scrollbar for that gropup
and set the groups size to the size of the card/stack.

Noone will tell the difference 8)


Best

Klaus
