SCROLL-PANE
Scroll-Pane is a control that provides a scrolled, clipped viewport of its contents. It allows the user to scroll the content around either directly or by using scroll bars. When the window dimensions are limited, use a scroll-pane to display a screen that wouldn’t fit the window dimensions.
Placing controls inside a Scroll-Pane
The Scroll-Pane content can be defined in the Screen Section of the program by setting the scroll-group clause of a group of controls to the name of the Scroll-Pane. For example, the following Screen Section snippet defines a Scroll-Pane with 3 fields inside:
03 sp-1 scroll-pane line 3, col 3, lines 10 cells, size 30 cells . 03 sp1-content scroll-group sp-1. 05 ef-1 entry-field line 2, col 2, size 10 cells. 05 ef-2 entry-field line 4, col 2, size 10 cells. 05 ef-3 entry-field line 6, col 2, size 10 cells. |
Controls can also be dynamically added to a Scroll-Pane by using a Format 2 DISPLAY statement. For example, the following statement adds a fourth field to the above Scroll-Pane:
display entry-field upon sp-1 line 8, col 2, size 10 cells handle ef-4. |
