List ScrollUp/ScrollDown arrows

[scb147]

I am using WizTools and I have a WizUiList that I am trying to get the ScrollUp and ScrollDown buttons to appear.

According to the WizTools Developer Document, to have the scroll buttons appear, you add the following to your skin.xml:

Code:

<CompositeImage name="ListPositionInfo" size="10.0,4.5" >
    <DrawText text="@positionText" loc="0,0" size="78,100" textStyle="GeneralTextStyle" align="Right" valign="Center" />
    <DrawImage filename="..\_CoreImages\up.png" loc="80,0" size="10,100" visible="@moreUp" />
    <DrawImage filename="..\_CoreImages\down.png" loc="90,0" size="10,10.0" visible="@moreDown" />
</CompositeImage>

This works great to get the buttons to appear, but that is all they do. I want them to be able to be selected with a mouse, and have the list page up or down. But, I don't want them to become a focusable item.

How do I get the ScrollUp and ScrollDown buttons to appear like the ones in the Music Library, Recordings, etc., that allow you to page up/down in the list, but not become a focusable button? This is where I'm having difficulties.

I've tried the 3 seperate ListPositionInfo, ListScrollUp, and ListScrollDown CompositeImages like the mentioned items above have in their skin.xml files, but I can't get anything to appear.

For example, if my list is called, ExampleList, I would have the following three CompositeImage XML tags:

Code:

<CompositeImage name="ExampleListListPositionInfo" size="10.0,4.5" >
    <DrawText...
</CompositeImage>
<CompositeImage name="ExampleListListScrollUp" size="10.0,4.5" >
    <DrawImage...
</CompositeImage>
<CompositeImage name="ExampleListListScrollDown" size="10.0,4.5" >
    <DrawImage...
</CompositeImage>

I know I'm probably missing something simple.

Thanks for any help.

Sorry, have not responded. Been on the road and away from development machines. Should be back @ home next week and I'll take a look into this.

Ok, I have looked at the listbox code, and the up/down arrows at this point are not clickable. I think I can add this functionality, but it will have to wait awhile as I am swamped with my 'real' job for awhile.

sweet, thanks JW! I can implement my own buttons to do it, but there is no way to make them non-focusable... So if the ListBox can do it, that'd be great!

Give this WizUiHelper.DLL (v1.0.12.6) a try. It should recognize button clicks on the up/dn eyecatchers in the ListPositionInfo composite image.

Please don't distribute yet, as there may be other code in this DLL that is not ready for release yet.

Could any developers using WizUiList and the PositionInfo capability try out the DLL below. The Up / Down Arrows in the list info area are now clickable, and will page Up / Down on a mouse click.

Before I release new version, I'd like some feed-back as to any unexpected behavior or bugs...

I've tried it in MovieWiz and SearchWiz and it seems to work ok, I'd just like some confirmation from other developers so I don't break anyones plugins.

Isn't V1.0.12.6 the current version of WizWebHelper?

[JavaWiz]

Sorry, must have had a brain-cramp.... I uploaded WizWebHelper, not WizUiHelper. I'll post the right DLL as soon as I can...

Sorry.

[JavaWiz]

Try this version of WizUiHelper (v1.0.22.6).

I'm assuming somewhere in the Controls_OnKeyDown event I need to add some logic to control the up/down control?

I added this to the skin:

Code:

<CompositeImage name="ListPositionInfo" size="20.0,4.5" >
       <DrawText text="@positionText" loc="0,0" size="80,100" textStyle="GeneralTextStyle" align="Right" valign="Center" />
       <DrawImage filename="..\_CoreImages\up.png" loc="80,0" size="10,100" visible="@moreUp" />
       <DrawImage filename="..\_CoreImages\down.png" loc="90,0" size="10,100" visible="@moreDown" />
</CompositeImage>

So I get the up/down buttons, but clicking on them does nothing...
