Hello,

Now I have read articles about Scroll Bar Controls, associated with Databases.

Excuse me but I don?t understand how I can use Scroll Bar Control in OI Form.

What way to connect Scroll Bar Control with REAL data field?

If I want to create OI Form based on Arev table, what Arev field able for manipulations by Scroll Bar Control ?

Thanks.

The most appropriate use for a scroll bar control with aREV data is for incrementing/decrementing numeric values.

Maria,

I think what Sprezz refers to is called a "spin" control:

So in OI you can make a spin control from one edit line and one scroll bar. (Btw - the one shown is from a Word dialog box.)

I have sometimes used scroll bar controls when I show longish arrays of values, like result lists or multivalued data. OI has an edit table control for multivalued data, but sometimes it's not good enough and you have to build something yourself. E.g let's say you have a multivalued field containing thumbnail image file names - sometimes lots of them. The file names themselves can easily be shown in an edit table, but not the images. To show the images you could e.g use three BMP controls and a scroll bar:

And some programming to populate and change the content of BMP controls when the user used the scroll bar.
