Scrollbar in 3rd edition?

[kiranpuranik]

Hi All,

I am using the scrollbar in 2nd edition using CEikScrollBarFrame ( two triangles in the area between softkeys ). it works fine in 3rd edition also .. but I can see a new scrollbar introduced in 3rd edition. All the native application are using the vertical scrollbar .. like windows .. I am not using that new scrollbar but by default it puts that scrollbar to my container .. any way to handle that scrollbar?


How can I use the 3rd edition specific scrollbar?


thanks a lot in advance.

Hello All Champs,

The silence on this topic means no one has tried a Scrollbar on 3rd edition? before few days I ported one of my app from S60 to S80. .. it was converting my triangular scrollbar to Vertical ( windows like ) automatically.

thanks a lot in advance.

Hi,
Hi,

Thanks for breaking the silence on this topic. Its not working for me. I can basically see two scrollbars at a time .. one is a Vertical Scrollbar ( windows like ) and other is for triangular ( second edition specific ).

I am creating it as

iScrollBar = new (ELeave)CEikScrollBarFrame(this, this, ETrue);

How can it happen?

It should work...

Creation:

CreateScrollBar()
{
iModel = TEikScrollBarModel();
iScrollBarFrame = new(ELeave) CEikScrollBarFrame(this, NULL, ETrue);
iScrollBarFrame->SetScrollBarVisibilityL(CEikScrollBarFrame::EOff /*Auto*/, CEikScrollBarFrame::EAuto);
iModel.iThumbSpan = 0;
iModel.iThumbPosition = 0;

iModel.iScrollSpan = totalNrOfLines - maxNrOfVisLines + 1; //you calculate this

iScrollBarFrame->Tile(&iModel);
iScrollBarFrame->MoveVertThumbTo(iModel.iThumbPosition);
}

OfferKeyEvent:

OfferKeyEventL(const TKeyEvent& aKeyEvent, TEventCode aType)
{
	if(aType == EEventKey)
	{
		if (aKeyEvent.iCode == EKeyDownArrow)
		{
			if((iModel.iThumbPosition + 1) < iModel.iScrollSpan )
			{
				iScrollBarFrame->MoveVertThumbTo(++iModel.iThumbPosition);
				DrawNow();
			}
			return EKeyWasConsumed;
		}

		if (aKeyEvent.iCode == EKeyUpArrow)
		{
			if(iModel.iThumbPosition > 0)
			{
				iScrollBarFrame->MoveVertThumbTo(--iModel.iThumbPosition);
				DrawNow();
			}
			return EKeyWasConsumed;
		}

		iScrollBarFrame->Tile(&iModel);
		//iScrollBarFrame->DrawScrollBarsNow();
		iScrollBarFrame->MoveVertThumbTo(iModel.iThumbPosition);
	}
	
	return EKeyWasNotConsumed;
}

Doing same thing .. But still I can see two seperate scroll bars .. one vertical and other one in between both the CBAs ..

What can be the problem??? The scroll bar in the right side is just sitting .. not doing anything .. the other guy doing work .. seems very strange.

Do I need to set any specific flag for it ? to get the Right hand side Windows like Scrollbar?????

thanks a lot in advance.

Try to destroy thet scrollbar first...

Hi,

I removed SetMopParent from my view .. now the old scrollbar ( triangle bet CBAs ) is not appearing. Now I have only single scrollbar appearing on Right side .. but that is not being handled ..

thanks a lot.

I have used the code showed above and I can see the scroll bar between my CBA buttons in my 3rd Edition phone. However I am more interested on the vertical scroll bar? What Should I do?

I'm not so sure if this is relevant or not, but for my case I wanted to show a vertical scroll bar in my CEikRichTextEditor and I did as follows:

The reason for this problem in my CEikRichTextEditor would probably be as described in the "S60_Platform_Rich_Text_Editor_Example_v2_0_en" as:
//In 3rd edition CEikRichTextEditor draw the view for the whole rect and
//the scrollbar doesn't show. That is a reason why CEikRichTextEditor Width() is
//rect.Width()-ScrollBarRect.Width()

I solved my problem using this code - it was modified from the "S60_Platform_Rich_Text_Editor_Example_v2_0_en" example.

1. Try implement your container's SizeChanged() function like this:

void CYourRichTextContainer::SizeChanged()
{
TRect rect = Rect();


#ifdef __SERIES60_3X__
TRect ScrollBarRect = iEditor->ScrollBarFrame()->VerticalScrollBar()->Rect();
iEditor->SetExtent(TPoint(0,0),
TSize(rect.Width()-ScrollBarRect.Width(), rect.Height()));
#else
iRtEd->SetExtent(TPoint(0,StatusLineHeight),
TSize(rect.Width(), rect.Height()-StatusLineHeight));
#endif
}


Note: "iEditor" is my CEikRichTextEditor object pointer.


2. Call SizeChanged() at the end of your container's ConstructL()

Hope this helps...
