Couple of questions about the browser widget

Wed Aug 16 19:04:27 EDT 2017

Hi Mike - I don’t think it’s an issue in my case. I’m displaying pretty simple pages – just text and images, no columns or fancy layouts. Nothing that is displayed will be wider than the browser (images are resized before being loaded to ensure this) so no horizontal scrolling will be required under any circumstances.

Anyway, you don’t seem to be able to toggle either scrollbar off either using the property inspector or via script, even when the browser widget has no content (no htmlText or url assigned). Given that I’m setting the height of the widget so that it doesn’t need to scroll vertically and horizontal scrolling is irrelevant then the inability to toggle these properties isn’t a problem. Still, it seems like a bug? Interestingly, under 8.1.4 both vScrollbar and hScrollbar are checked in the property inspector (and stuck like that) while on 8.1.6 they are both unchecked (and stuck like that).

Regards,

Terry...

    hmm.  If the width of the page fits without need of a horizontal scrollbar,
    it should disappear, so maybe your code should check to see if its false
    first, then add the 23 pixels or not, depending. (I also can't test to see
    if its 23 on every platform at the moment)

    I'm wondering if you're just not allowed to set a bar to false when the
    content is too wide or high and vice versa.
