PureBasic Forums - English

...Yes, even at those day and age people still needs simple solutions for text I/O. Well, referenced gadget completely fulfilling my current needs, yet there are some little problems: right I'm just unable to locate any way of making scrolling bars (mostly vertical one) to appear only when they actually needed. It’s first time when MSDN completely fails for me. May be you, people, have any ideas here ?

A search for "multiline stringgadget" has several relevant matches for you. It's not hard.

No, not fail. You searched via Google, not the forums. Before I posted my reply I did a search, and it had several relevant matches. You try again and you'll find them.

Try this: "StringGadget* multiline" and/or with "scroll".
I'm sure you'll find something.

I'm trying, yet things aren't going too well.

Fail. You used the word "fail" to look down on someone.

Smells like brain fail ...

Listen Melissa, this is no service hotline nor a programming competition so I suggest you take your elementary-school-fail-bulls*** and keep it to yourself in case you ever want to get help again. Deal? (It's a rhetorical question, don't get tempted)

Right on! I was about to post her some working code but after her second "fail" post I decided against it, and won't be helping her in future anymore either. Rude people aren't worth my time.

You believe it's really a "her"? Hmmm, call me crazy but I doubt it

I don't really, no. But I didn't want to risk offending by typing "her" in quotes, just in case.

Well, let's see...
1) It's third day and I still unable to get answer, yet there are plenty of posts here.
2) Looks like that most of posters didn't actually even bothered to read my request.
3) I'm using word 'fail' when it is one. Since it is.

Was it ever different from PyroStrex’s one) ? Btw, why just post link to topic with ? Wasn't it you, who stated that answer could be found that forum ? Why now, not when I just asked ? Questions, questions...

OK, what I got myself so far:
1) There are flag #SIF_DISABLENOSCROLL in SCROLLINFO structure, which should be what I'm searching for, yet it seems to be always off.
2) It's possible to test if scrollbar is enabled or not, yet it should be visible while doing that. Flickering is not too irritating, but still noticeable.
3) Some textarea’s size calculation would work as well, yet I'm still hesitating to use it until there are some hope that more civil methods would be found.
...If only netmaestro was there -_-...
