Skins with Scroll Box

created 15 years ago

Looking at the code in Q100575, I tried to create a demo that would work with a vertical scroll box--but I could not get it to work. The scroll never occurs. Also, tabbing to a control out of the visible space does not work.
What is wrong with my code?
Thank you,
Ed Dressel

    Hello Ed.
    This behavior is not directly related to this unit. When the standard vertical scroll bar is invisible (ScrollBox1.VertScrollBar.Visible := False;), tabbing through the editors will not work.
    I've modified your example to show it. Unfortunately, we can't change this behavior at our components level. However, we have a suggestion in our Support Center about providing the TcxScrollBox component, which will support skinning. Please review the Provide a skinnable component similar to the standard VCL TScrollBox component report for additional information.
    You can start tracking this issue to stay informed on our progress.
    Best regards,
    Ingvar.

      This being a requirement, am I correct that there is no solution until Dev Ex develops a scroll box?

        Hello Ed.
        Thank you for the response.
        I'm afraid that there is no solution. I've tried to place the TcxScrollBar over the standard scrollbar, but it causes painting issues.
        Meantime, our developers are looking for the best way to implement this component. However, I can't give you any time frame when it will be added. So, please keep tracking this suggestion to be informed on our progress over it.
        Best regards,
        Ingvar.
