Text Box Scrollbar

[rejenorst 18]

Hi I am just wondering if its possible to create a simple scrollbar into a textbox?

I've created a fully working dialog but have limited space for the textbox I am using and am wondering if someone can help me out as I am trying to get a scrollbar into the textbox.

My RSC dialogue code for the textbox:

class comtext {

idc = 1000;

type = CT_STATIC; // defined constant

style = ST_MULTI; // defined constant

colorText[] = { 1, 1, 1, 1 };

colorBackground[] = { 0.1, 1, 0.1, 0 };

lineSpacing = 1;

font = FontM; // defined constant

sizeEx = 0.023;

x = 0.3; y = 0.1;

w = 0.4; h = 0.03;

};

And the actual Dialog window, class minfo is the one that needs the scrollbar. I wouldn't mind adding it to the Rsc (above) so that its automatic:

//--- HIRE.

class hire {

movingEnable = 1;//--- The dialog window can be moved.

idd = 1003;

onLoad = ""; //--- Script loaded upon creation.

class controlsBackground {

class Mainback : RscPicture {

x = 0.2;

y = 0.2;

w = 0.6;

h = 0.6;

moving = 1;

text = "caller.paa";

};

};

class controls {

class listboxA : RscListBox {

idc = 108;

x = 0.23;

y = 0.25;

w = 0.2;

h = 0.25;

onLBSelChanged = "_wepsel1 = lbCurSel 108;_text1 = lbText [108, _wepsel1];[_text1]exec 'minfo.sqs';"

};

class buttonA : RscButton {

idc = 109;

x = 0.625;

y = 0.47;

w = 0.13;

h = 0.05;

text = "HIRE";

action = "_wepsel1 = lbCurSel 108;_wepsel2 = lbCurSel 109;_text1 = lbText [104, _wepsel1];_text2 = lbText [105, _wepsel2];hint format ['WEAPON:%1 MERC:%2',(_text1),(_text2)];[(_text1),(_text2)]exec 'hire.sqs'";

};

class buttonB : RscButton {

idc = 110;

x = 0.475;

y = 0.47;

w = 0.13;

h = 0.05;

text = "EXIT";

action = "closedialog 0;";

};

class minfo : comtext {

idc = 111;

x = 0.44;

y = 0.35;

w = 0.325;

h = 0.12;

text = "";

};

class profile : RscPicture {

idc = 112;

x = 0.55;

y = 0.22;

w = 0.12;

h = 0.12;

moving = 1;

text = "profile.paa";

};

class prices : comtext {

idc = 113;

x = 0.23;

y = 0.51;

w = 0.2;

h = 0.02;

text = "Cost: $0.00";

};

};

};

And example of code I am looking at for the scroll bar, taken from:

http://ru.armacomref.wikia.com/wiki/Dialog_Control

class My_RscControlsgroup

{

type = 15;

idc = -1;

style = 0;

x = (safeZoneX + (SafezoneW * 0.0363)); // scalability code which resizes correctly no matter what gui size or screen dimensions is used

y = (safeZoneY + (SafezoneH * 0.132)); // scalability code which resizes correctly no matter what gui size or screen dimensions is used

w = (SafezoneW * 0.31); // scalability code which resizes correctly no matter what gui size or screen dimensions is used

h = (SafezoneH * 0.752); // scalability code which resizes correctly no matter what gui size or screen dimensions is used

class VScrollbar

{

color[] = {1, 1, 1, 1};

width = 0.021;

autoScrollSpeed = -1;

autoScrollDelay = 5;

autoScrollRewind = 0;

};

class HScrollbar

{

color[] = {1, 1, 1, 1};

height = 0.028;

};

class ScrollBar

{

color[] = {1,1,1,0.6};

colorActive[] = {1,1,1,1};

colorDisabled[] = {1,1,1,0.3};

thumb = "#(argb,8,8,3)color(1,1,1,1)";

arrowEmpty = "#(argb,8,8,3)color(1,1,1,1)";

arrowFull = "#(argb,8,8,3)color(1,1,1,1)";

border = "#(argb,8,8,3)color(1,1,1,1)";

};

class Controls

{

class My_RscStructuredText

{

idc = 55;

colorBackground[] = {1,1,1,0.3};

x = 0;

y = 0;

w = (SafezoneW * 0.3);

h = (SafezoneH * 3);

text = "";

size = 0.02;

class Attributes

{

font = "TahomaB";

color = "#106A1A";

align = "center";

valign = "middle";

shadow = false;

shadowColor = "#ff0000";

size = "1";

};

};

};

};

Alternatively if someone has a structured text and scrollbar template they can show me I'd settle for that. Thanks.

Since this has no replies but it's a prime search result candidate, I will ask here so there's an answer for future reference:

I'm trying to use dialogs for the first time. How do you get a scrollbar to show up in a text box? The wiki just says something about the text box 'h' value being higher than the parent control, but I've tried it and nothing happened (what I thought it was, anyway). I've also tried adding scrollbox entries to everything but still nothing.

Could someone who knows please look at this and see if there's anything noticably wrong? (Text box highlighted; text is added externally)
