I'm just getting started with REALbasic, and want to do a simple
thing. Within a control canvas, I want to place a few imagewell
controls, and then have them scroll like a scrolling box of buttons.
Then I can add some functionality to each button later. Is there
something horribly complicated about this?
Well, it's certainly not standard. First, an ImageWell isn't a
button. I've honestly never had a use for an ImageWell, but I
certainly wouldn't try to use it for that -- perhaps you want a
BevelButton instead?
Next, a scrolling box of buttons isn't a very standard UI, at least
on the Mac -- if you're on Windows or Linux, perhaps it's more
acceptable there. But I can't help wonder if there isn't some better
UI which would be both easier to develop and easier to use. If you
explain what you're trying to accomplish, in terms of user needs, we
can kick around some ideas.
Best,
