Scrollbar/slider attributes

[Joe Lewis Wilkins]

Hi Ron, Richmond:

Since we receive adequate scrolling feedback when a field has the scroll of its associated scrollbars manipulated, could you, perhaps, connect a field to your slider in some manner and set that field's scrolling to meaningful values? I'm not sure how that might work and how visibility of the field could be used or possibly have it's "width" property set to "0", essentially making it invisible.

Just thinking out of the box, since I really don't understand your needs very well!
