Thanks

Is there built in support for more Up/Down indicators for lists? I can't see anything obvious.

Not sure what you mean exactly. For each item in the list there is a @moreUp and @moreDown property indicating if there are list items above and/or below the item.

What other types of indicators are you looking for?

OK, I will use those properties then.

Sub's UiList looks for MoreUp, MoreDown and PositionInfo skin elements automatically.

I have not looked at sub's base lists in awhile.

• Does it publish MoreUp/Down/PositionInfo at the list level, or at the item level?
  
• What exactly does PositionInfo mean? Index within the list, percentage position within the list???

If you look at the Video Library screen you'll see these things at the bottom of the list control as page up/down buttons, and textual indicator of where in the list the user is.

I am changing the next version of WizUiList to publish a couple new properties for skinning as follows..

At the list level:

• @moreUp - if there are more elements above the 1st visible element, this value is true else false
  
• @moreDown - if ther are more elements below the last visible element, this value is true else false
  
• @positionText - position of the selected element within the list in format 99/999, where 99 is the element position, 999 is the number of elements in the list.

If any of these elements exist in any of the elements for the List background, the list background allocates 1 extra row so these data elements have room to render below the list.

At the ListItem level:

• @moreUp - if there are more elements above this item, returns true else false (ie 1st item in the list). Note: if AutoScroll is on, this item always return true as long as there is at least 1 item in the list.
  
• @moreDown - if there are more elements below this item, returns true else false (ie last item in the list). Note: if AutoScroll is on, this item always return true as long as there is at least 1 item in the list.

JW -- if you have a moment and don't mind, can I beg you to take a look at the word wrapping for the nifty little scrolling textbox?

Everything works great, except for the last line displayed (the last line displayed in the window, not necessarily the last line of text in the string. So, last visible line). Instead of wrapping to the next line, it is being displayed over top the down arrow.

Meh, I hope I'm making sense.

Or maybe I'm doing something wrong in the skin? Hmm.

I'll take a look, but I thought this was mostly controlled by the skin. I'll get back to you after I've had a look.

Thank you for checking. I did some playing with the skin values last night, but couldn't come up with anything that made a difference.

But I admit I only vaguely understand how many of the spam values work together, so could very well be me.
