To set scrollbars on a html (or strucured-text)-control

[Denisko-Redisko]

At first it seemed to me that arma2 scrollbar can be set for any control.
Having looked at the config i was a bit disappointed, scrollbar is set for a controls-group, it draws a scrollbar when it contains controls of larger size, than itself.
(see: configFile >> "RscDisplayDiary", or "AddOns\ui\config.cpp")

It is the same as it was before, in ArmA1. And the main problem is that when we want to have scrollable html-control or strucured-text-control we need to know it actual size that depends on volume of the loaded text (htmlLoad or ctrlSetStructuredText).

Not especially hoping for success, I tried to set scrollbar classes (Scrollbar, VScrollbar, HScrollbar), for other controls, but it didn't work.

Somebody knows, how it works ingame, or how it can be workaround? Any ideas.

It did fail for me too

So you can't have a scrollbox with a structured text control? I've been trying to add a scrollbar to a text box and it was maddening enough without any proper documentation anywhere on how to do it. But then I find this and discover it was all for nothing anyway. Anyone ever worked this out?

if you only know the actual vertical size of text, you can do it

Code: [Select]

class RscYourDisplay {
    ...
    class controls {
        class ControlsGroup : RscControlsGroup {
            class VScrollbar {
                width = 0.019;
            };
            class controls {
                class YourTextControl : RscStructuredText {
                    // it vertical size of text page
                    h = 100;
                };
            };
        };
    };
};
