Scroll List Documentation

My ResEd application (0.60 08-Feb-20) offers me in its gadget window things called ScrollLists, which I suspect are just what I am looking for. However the User Interface Toolbox manual (Issue 1 December 1994) which I have says nothing about them. Where can I find out the magic numbers for how to use them? Is there a later and more uptodate version of the manual obtainable?

I have only used Rik Griffin’s StrongHelp manual and I do not know of any other documentation.

I distilled the details for my Basalt manual, in which I have a note “The documentation about ScrollList is rather brief!”.

I used that as a basis for my private Oobi ‘Desktop’ manual, adding some discovered detail along the way.

If there are questions I might be able to help. I used a ScrollList in my last experimental Oobi app ColFiler. . The way it works should be clear but the BASIC will be unfamiliar. ;-)

Many thanks. I found that info about Scroll Lists in the StrongHelp manuals. Unfortunately, clicking !Oobi causes my Rpi4 to lock up.

Oh well, I am not surprised. Oobi is very alpha. Have a look at the !RunImage perhaps. ;-)

If you are using the DDE have a look into

AcornC/C++.Export.APCS-32.Lib.tboxlibs.h.SrcollList

AFAIR the ScrollList are nested Windows, so eg. Drag and Drop may not behave as you expect, as you are not informed for master window ID and ScrollList component. Instead you will obtain the ID of the nested window.
