Making a Form with a Scrollbar?

thewill2live
thewill2live over 11 years ago
I was reading through the Allegro SKILL Reference guide and noticed that VARIABLE formtypes are not supported. Is there some other way I can make a form with a scrollbar? I need to display alot of text and the window extends outside of the visible part of the screen (so that the bottom buttons are off screen). Is there a way to get a scrollbar into the form so that the text scrolls instead of making a huge screen?

    Take a look at the axlFormGridEvents function. You're looking for something like axlFormGridEvents(checkForm "grid" 'change) in order to allow for editing a cell.

    Hmmmm. Okay, I added this in, and still a no-go. Any other possible ideas?

    axlFormSetField doesn't seem to take newline characters and display formatted text in a STRFILLIN field type. I've tried as many ways as I can think of. It takes \t for tabs, but not newlines. Any suggestions?
