martin Posted September 7, 2009 Share Posted September 7, 2009 sorry for not being descriptive. _GUIScrollBars_Init.au3 is the file i checked and that has only a little blank space below but this one : gui with scrollbar I don't know which example in that thread you mean but I think I understand what you're worried about. The empty space you are referring to is simply that the scrollable range has been set too large. The scrollbar functions are a bit confusing IMO because the units used for scrolling are based on the average size of a character. This is sensible if you are scrolling an edit box where you want to scroll completed lines, but otherwise I find it inconvenient and I prefer to have units of 1 pixel. Kip made a nice udf for scrollbars which you should look at because it can make using scrollbars a lot easier. Below I have copied a chunk of code from the scrollbars.au udf to get the size used for the vertical increment. Then I have calculated the number of pixels for the scrollable range and divided by the vertical increment. It still doesn't give an exact fit but it's near, and experimenting shows that 98 instead of 99*30 fits very well. expandcollapse popup#include <GuiScrollBars.au3> #include <ScrollBarConstants.au3> #include <WindowsConstants.au3> #include <StructureConstants.au3> Const $LINESTEP = 10 Const $PAGESTEP = 25 Dim $iPos = 0 GUIRegisterMsg($WM_VSCROLL, 'OnVertScroll') Dim $hGUI = GUICreate('Test', 100, 200) Dim $avButton[100] For $i = 0 To 99 $avButton[$i] = GUICtrlCreateButton('Button ' & $i+1, 20, 20+$i*30, 60, 25) Next Dim $hVScroll = _GUIScrollBars_Init($hGUI, 100) _GUIScrollBars_SetScrollRange($hGUI, $SB_VERT, 0, (20 + 99*30 +25)/GetscrollVertInc($hGui));range set here _GUIScrollBars_ShowScrollBar($hGUI, $SB_HORZ, False) GUISetState() Do Until GUIGetMsg() = -3 GUIDelete() Func OnVertScroll($hwnd, $iMsg, $iwParam, $ilParam) Local $iScrollCode = BitAND($iwParam, 0xFFFF) Local $tSCROLLINFO = DllStructCreate($tagSCROLLINFO) Switch $iScrollCode Case $SB_LINEDOWN $iPos += $LINESTEP Case $SB_LINEUP $iPos -= $LINESTEP Case $SB_PAGEDOWN $iPos += $PAGESTEP Case $SB_PAGEUP $iPos -= $PAGESTEP EndSwitch If $iPos > 200 Then $iPos = 200 ElseIf $iPos < 0 Then $iPos = 0 EndIf _GUIScrollBars_SetScrollInfoPos($hGUI, $SB_VERT, $iPos) EndFunc func GetscrollVertInc($hWnd) Local $tTEXTMETRIC = DllStructCreate($tagTEXTMETRIC) Local $hdc = DllCall("User32.dll", "hwnd", "GetDC", "hwnd", $hWnd) $hdc = $hdc[0] DllCall("gdi32.dll", "int", "GetTextMetrics", "int", $hdc, "ptr", DllStructGetPtr($tTEXTMETRIC)) $yChar = DllStructGetData($tTEXTMETRIC, "tmHeight") + DllStructGetData($tTEXTMETRIC, "tmExternalLeading") DllCall("User32.dll", "int", "ReleaseDC", "hwnd", $hWnd, "hwnd", $hdc) return $yChar EndFunc Serial port communications UDF Includes functions for binary transmission and reception.printing UDF Useful for graphs, forms, labels, reports etc.Add User Call Tips to SciTE for functions in UDFs not included with AutoIt and for your own scripts.Functions with parameters in OnEvent mode and for Hot Keys One function replaces GuiSetOnEvent, GuiCtrlSetOnEvent and HotKeySet.UDF IsConnected2 for notification of status of connected state of many urls or IPs, without slowing the script.

rajeshontheweb Posted September 8, 2009 Author Share Posted September 8, 2009 precisely, that was my concern and at the moment i have had to switch to tabbed interface rather than scrollable :-( i felt that it had something to do with the scroll range division but i couldnt actually figure out how to control it properly, i tried changing various values but the best i got was looking good when there was enough rows but if there is too little no. of rows i should be able to get the scroll bar not moving at all , but it would still move. i.e., more the display size is greater than the visible window size, it works better but that wasnt the point. just like we control list boxes i wanted a complete control as to whether or not the scroll bar remains active . i will try ur example and the udf mentioned . i did search for scroll and obviously i got tooo many results and i was able to go through only a few of them.
