Scrollbar Struggles

[paul3252]

I have read the posts relating to the scrollbar, as well as the manual etc., but I am still struggling.

I am trying to create a 'row of buttons' along the bottom of device screen. As the screen cannot accomodate all the buttons I had hoped to have a 'scrollbar' of the buttons than can be slid left/right, button clicked and then function executed.

I am however unsure of how to achieve this so at the moment I have two rows of buttons 'hidden' off screen that pop up/hide when the a 'show/hide' button is clicked. Although this works it looks clunky. A far more elegant solution would be to use a scrollbar in the way described.

I am not even sure that a scroll bar can be used like this, as the examples on the forum are mainly for images so if there is a better way I am happy to learn.

Is this the correct control to use and if so, how?

I did try a panel and detect the swipe left/right to move the button bar left or right but this was clunky too.

Thanks in advance for any pointers.

Have you seen this new library: http://www.b4x.com/forum/additional...kaction-library-nice-looking-popup-menus.html.

It might make things a lot easier and visually 'nicer'.

Two words, absolutely superb!

That worked a treat, looks good, easy to implement and less cumbersome than my efforts, thanks very much.
