Change ScrollBar in V2 ComboBox

Friday, December 15th, 2006

Question: Is it possible to change ScrollBar width in V2 ComboBox? And ScrollBar’s Up and Down Arrows _height?

Till now I know only possibility to skinn all stuff, but I really can’t change them _width or _height. Sure I know, that size of scrollBar can be changed by calling scrollbar.setSize(10,40), but only for single instance of UIScrollBar. But if I want to change it for scrollbar which is in ComboBox, i can’t do it, because I can’t access its instance.

Is this possible? I need to know it as fast as possible because of deadline…

Question2: How can I set rowHeight to ComboBox List (when user clicks to comboBox and items are listed in List. I can change skin, but rowHeight() is function of List instance.

Thanks

Ad1.
ScrollBars in V2 components are PITA in skinning. Try to create subclass, that’s inherits from ScrollPane, and overwrite method for creating SBars, with custom method for skinning the SBar compo.

Ad2.
ComboBox::dropdown. Actually dropdown IS a List class instance. So you can call on it rowHeight, or set its cell/itemRenderer.

ScrollPane::vScroller, ScrollPane::hScroller

Try to override (copy paste with modifications) ScrollView::setScrollProperties and skin your scrollbars in:
hScroller = ScrollBar(createObject("HScrollBar", "hSB", 1001));

Hey David, not really, and I don’t need it anymore, but I can ask someone, if you still need it
