Scrollbar on Panel

[Arbudu]

Hello!
Tell me please how to make scrollbar on panel. I am using TabWidget and several panels for tabs. One panel is biggest than other panels and i can not access to bottom part of panel because TabWidget is not create scrollbar.
How to make scrollbar?
Thank you.

Yes, you are right. The tab widget will not automatically scale the panel or add a scrollbar. Normally I make panels that exactly fit the tab. I believe that it is not very common to make a tab with a scrollbar. I do not know any standard panel (look in Office) where there's a scrollbar. Normally, when your panel doesn't fit in the tab, you separate the panel and make two tabs.

But ok. I understand the issue.

The only solution right now would be (when your tab control is 200*200 pixels and your panel is 500*500)
- Make a panel called PANEL200_200 that is 200* 200 pixels
- In this panel you drag an embedded module 200*200.
- You give this 'embedded module' a modulename.
module.ModuleName = "MYPANEL";
- Use ModuleOnWithpanel() to load your bigger panel (500*500) into this embedded module
- Add the panel PANEL200_200 to the tab

Still, I would consider to split your screen and use two tabs. A tab wiith a scrollbar will look a bit strange

Good luck

you could also change the size of the panel, when you click on tabs.


...
getValue("tab1","activeRegister", tabNum);
tabNum++;
x=g_sizeWin_x[tabNum];
y=g_sizeWin_y[tabNum];

setPanelSize(myModuleName(),myPanelName(), FALSE, x, y);
setValue("tab1", "size", x, y);
...

Please note that changing a panel when clicking on a tab is not standard Windows behaviour and I would strongly advise against it.
Your end-user will most like not expect, understand or appreciate such a graphical behavior.

I would still recommend that you split the panel
