Webgadget and #PB_Web_ScrollY

Post by captain_skank »

Hello all,

I'm clearly misunderstanding this property as it doesn't do what i think it should and I wonder if anyone can point out my mistake :)

Code: Select all

  Procedure.s PROC_html()
    
    Protected LVAR_html.s
    
    LVAR_html = "<!DOCTYPE html>" + #CRLF$
    LVAR_html + "<HTML>" + #CRLF$

    WebGadget(0, 10, 10, 580, 280, "")
    SetGadgetItemText(0, #PB_Web_HtmlCode, PROC_html())
    
    Repeat 
      Debug GetGadgetAttribute(0, #PB_Web_ScrollY)
    Until WaitWindowEvent() = #PB_Event_CloseWindow 
    
  EndIf
By my reckoning the debugged value should change if i scroll the web gadget down or up ?

Any help or advice gratefully accepted.

Cheers

There's a known bug with PB_Web_ScrollY. Try this alternative solution (based on old code found online but not sure who the original author is):

Code: Select all

Procedure WebGadget_GetScrollY(WebGadNumber)  ;;; workaround for GetGadgetAttribute bug by breeze4me
  Protected Browser.IWebBrowser2 = GetWindowLong_(GadgetID(WebGadNumber), #GWL_USERDATA)
  Protected res, scrollY = GetGadgetAttribute(WebGadNumber, #PB_Web_ScrollY)
  Protected DocumentDispatch.IDispatch, Document.IHTMLDocument3, Element.IHTMLElement2, DocElement.IHTMLElement
  If Browser
    If Browser\get_Document(@DocumentDispatch) = #S_OK And DocumentDispatch
      If DocumentDispatch\QueryInterface(?IID_IHTMLDocument3, @Document) = #S_OK And Document
        If Document\get_documentElement(@DocElement) = #S_OK And DocElement
          If docElement\QueryInterface(?IID_IHTMLElement2, @Element) = #S_OK And Element
            If Element\get_scrollTop(@res) <> #S_OK
              res = 0
            EndIf
            Element\Release()
          EndIf
          DocElement\Release()
        EndIf
        Document\Release()
      EndIf
      DocumentDispatch\Release()
    EndIf
  EndIf
  If scrollY : res = scrollY : EndIf
  ProcedureReturn res
EndProcedure

DataSection
  IID_IHTMLDocument3: 
  Data.l $3050F485
  Data.w $98B5,$11CF
  Data.b $BB,$82,$00,$AA,$00,$BD,$CE,$0B
  IID_IHTMLElement2:

  Data.b $BB, $82, $00, $AA, $00, $BD, $CE, $0B
