Scrolling list of Groups

[Martin Baxter]

Hi Mike,

It sounds like you're more or less on the right track.

I created a scrolling grid which has somewhat similar requirements,
although in that case I'm cloning a field rather than a group.  But I think
the principle is the same.
What I do is use a propertiy to keep track of how many cells there are, and
also have a naming scheme (R1C1) for the fields that describes their
location.
I always clone the first field and never delete it.
The location of the clone is determined by calculating its offset from the
first cell, based on the number of currently existing cells and their size.
In my case though the cells can be resized, all the cells are the same
size, which makes things easier.

Hope this helps

Martin Baxter
