[Klonan] scroll pane without scrollbars

[xyzzycgn]

Is it possible to have a scroll pane without scrollbars which is still scrollable (with mouse wheel)?

I've already tried the *_scroll_policies with "dont-show-but-allow-scrolling", but unfortunatelly scrollbars are still shown and I can't see any difference in behaviour to "auto".

Thx in advance

It should work with that policy, can you post your code?

Hi Klonan,

thx for your quick response.

This is the relevant part of the code, where the scroll pane sp is created:

Code: Select all

function testtab.update(refs, data)
    local container = refs.testtab_tab

    -- ugly - clear all children and create new ones
    container.clear()

    local sp = container.add {
        type = "scroll-pane",
        style = "rldman_small_slot_table_scroll_pane",
        name = "scrollpane"
    }

    local filler = container.add {
        type = "flow",
        direction = "horizontal",
        width = 450,
        height = 76,
        name = "filler-in-container"
    }

    local lfiller = filler.add {
        type = "label",
        width = 450,
        height = 76,
        caption = "xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx",
        name = "label-in-filler"
    }

    local table = sp.add {
        type = "flow",
        style = "rldman_no_stretch_no_squash_flow",
        direction = "horizontal",
        name = "flow-in-scrollpane"
    }

    testtabData(table, data)
end

The two used styles look like that:

Code: Select all

styles.rldman_small_slot_table_scroll_pane = {
    type = "scroll_pane_style",
    parent = "flib_naked_scroll_pane_no_padding",
    --horizontal_scroll_policy = "never",
    horizontal_scroll_policy = "dont-show-but-allow-scrolling",
    --horizontal_scroll_policy = "auto",
    vertical_scroll_policy = "never",
    width = 44 * 2,
    height = 66,
    padding = 0,
}

styles.rldman_no_stretch_no_squash_flow = {
    type = "horizontal_flow_style",
    horizontally_stretchable = "off",
    vertically_stretchable = "off",
    horizontally_squashable = "on",
    vertically_squashable = "on",
}

The function testtabData() adds 4 sprites to the flow called table inside the scroll pane.

The result look like that:

The policy is not set by the Style, but in the gui element directly (during creation of afterwards):

Code: Select all

    local sp = container.add {
        type = "scroll-pane",
        style = "rldman_small_slot_table_scroll_pane",
        horizontal_scroll_policy = "dont-show-but-allow-scrolling",
        name = "scrollpane"
    }

Oh yeah, you're right - that is wrong

Unfortunately there is no change in behavior after correcting this (I've checked whether the policy is now set correctly by logging the content of the field)

Hmm, can you try setting it after creation?

Code: Select all

    local sp = container.add {
        type = "scroll-pane",
        style = "rldman_small_slot_table_scroll_pane",
        name = "scrollpane"
    }
  sp.horizontal_scroll_policy = "dont-show-but-allow-scrolling"

        name = "scrollpane"
    }
  sp.horizontal_scroll_policy = "dont-show-but-allow-scrolling"

Of course

Code now is

Code: Select all

    local sp = container.add {
        type = "scroll-pane",
        style = "rldman_small_slot_table_scroll_pane",
        --horizontal_scroll_policy = "dont-show-but-allow-scrolling",
        --vertical_scroll_policy = "never",
        name = "scrollpane"
    }
    sp.horizontal_scroll_policy = "dont-show-but-allow-scrolling"
    sp.vertical_scroll_policy = "never"

But no change in behavior

Okay I looked a bit deeper, and it seems its only supported for textboxes at the moment,
I will move this to bugs and assign it to me so I don't forget to look into adding support to normal scroll panes

Thx for your efforts and I am excited about the solution
