Is it possible to turn on scrollbar immediately.
I noticed that the scrollbar shows after you insert the second item.
Especially on the PPC this behavior disturbs the screen and the
application seems flickering and not solid.

Thanks in advance

Otto,

The scrollbar gets visible once there are two or more records to show.

Hello Antonio,
Yes I noticed this. But the browser repaints and the applications seems for an enduser very unstable and flickering.
Therefore it would be better if the scrollbar would be there when starting the application.

Otto,

In order to turn the scrollbar visible it needs to have a range different from 0,0.

Maybe a solution is to do a oBrw:oVScroll:SetRange( 0, 1 ) even if we just have one record to show

Hello Antonio,

Thank you for your help.

If I change the method I get what I want with FIVEWIN.

METHOD VSetRange() INLINE ::nVScrollPos := 1,;
iif(::nlen<2,;
::oVScroll:SetRange( Min( 1,1 ), Min( VSCROLL_MAXVALUE, 0)),;
::oVScroll:SetRange( Min( 1,::nLen ), Min( VSCROLL_MAXVALUE, ::nLen)))

But I don’t know how to link in the changed wbrowse.prg or an inherited one with the changed method in FWPPC.

Could you please show me how to compile and link in files in FWPPC.

I use UEStudio and setup in “Tool Configuration” C:\Fwppc\SAMPLES\Buildce.bat %P%N .

Buildce.bat is original FWPPC.

Thanks in advance

Otto

Otto,

To test it simply compile and link wbrowse.prg as another prg of your application,

or just add it source code at the bottom of your main PRG
