Take care for users, which don't have a whell-mouse...

It allows you to create your own gadget, and the gadget will call spesified functions for repainting the gadget and when you scroll a scroll bar the gadget directly calls your function.

Check out the Demo file and you'll see what I mean...

yes, very nice little lib to easy built skined gadgets.

Erlend, this is cool.

Are there any limits on # of gadgets?

Are you intending to add to the library? For example with optional call like setting/changing background color for a specific gadget. Or getting current h/vscroll position (I know can be done via code, but storing as an internal property would be neat)

Is there some way to access or refer to a gadget outside of the callbacks? For example, to draw onto or do other stuff with it.

Cool, regardless.

Thank You Dare2!

No there are no limit of gadgets exept for available mem, but should not be a problem for anyone I guess. adding backgroundcolor for spesified gadget should not be any problem. (see if I can get it done soon) .

The internal scroll property I am not sure what you mean, if it is some thing like this:

Code: Select all

GetOwnGadget_VScroll(Gadget)

Then I'll do it right away.

Drawing can allways be done like this:

Code: Select all

Structure PBDrawingStruct
  Type.l
  WindowHandle.l
  DC.l
  ReleaseProcedure.l
EndStructure

mydraw.PBDrawingStruct
mydraw\Type=1
mydraw\WindowHandle=gadget
mydraw\DC=GetDC_(gadget)
StartDrawing(mydraw)
; do some drawing here
StopDrawing()

As for the other stuff you speak about, I can't think of anything, but you mention it and I see what I can do..

Hi Erlend,

Thanks for the response and the code showing how to get a handle on the OwnGadgets.

With the properties, I was playing around and trapping mouse and scroll positions so that I could get the actual position of the mouse (eg vScroll + yMouse) relative to the top/left of the ownGadget and thought a few properties stored with the ownGadget would be nice. And somehow marking or flagging them. (Just to save on having to store/manage things outside the lib)

Your idea on GetOwnGadget_VScroll(Gadget) and GetOwnGadget_HScroll(Gadget) would be great.

Does being able to store and retrieve some values, eg (Get/Set)OwnGadget_FlagA(Gadget,Value) sound useful to you? I reckon it could be used to keep track of general status, etc.

Thanks again for this lib.
