Scroling:|

[Sehroz]

Hey i was just wondering whats the code to create a scrolling bar that would let you scroll up and down the page if they want to read something that is at the top. like a scroling thing on the internet on your right side->. thanks

You could use the Turing GUI

please explain...

setting the view mode to "text" might work, assuming you're only outputting text to screen

code:

View.Set("text")

I'm pretty sure that the run window is set in text mode by default. So your solution might not change anything Tony.

If your reading a large file, then set it to Text so a scroll bar does appear on the side.

[Sehroz]

yea but view text doesnt work if i have my seen set to maxx and maxy and i have fillbox's

[Sean]

Then create a scroll bar of your own, I've seen Gooie do it before.

Just to clear things up between Tony and Clayton. Turing defaults to graphics mode.

Compare this:

Turing:

for i : 1 .. 100     put i end for

to this:

Turing:

View.Set ("text") for i : 1 .. 100     put i end for

Well, scrolling through images makes things a lot harder for scrolling. What you need is the absolute and processed coordinates for everything.

So, say you had a dot at (100, 5000) and your screen was 500x500 how would you see the dot? You need to subtract the coordinates of all of your objects by your current view. I hope that made sense -_-*.

A scroll bar can be made by using Mouse.Where where you could press arrow keys to move the view up or down. (or rather the variable you subtract form the coordinates.)
