AGS-wrapper-scrollbars
======================
> AutoIt Gui Skeleton package for wrapping the library Scrollbars created by Melba23. See this package on npmjs.com
Scrollbars
GUIScrollbars_Ex.au3 - This gives you scrollbars sized to your GUI in one simple command - with no other includes or commands needed. The UDF is designed for those who would not normally use scrollbars because the whole process looks too complicated. It also includes a command to enable you to scroll page by page, thus making it easy to scroll to anywhere on the GUI with only simple calulations based on the values you used to create the GUIs. New ability to have recalculated scrollbars on resizeable GUIs.
GUIScrollbars_Size.au3 - This calculates the Page and Max numbers for the user to feed into the _GUIScrollbar_SetScrollInfoPage/Max commands. The UDF is aimed at the more experienced user and is particularly useful when you have a GUI with a dynamic scroll size (i.e. adding or subtracting controls to the scrollable area as the script runs).
How to install AGS-wrapper-wrapper-scrollbars ?
We assume that you have already install
Node.js and
Yarn, for example by taking a
Chocolatey. AGS framework use Yarn for manage dependencies.
To add this package into your AutoIt project, just type in the root folder of your AGS project where the
package.json is stored. You can also modify the
dependencies property of this json file and use the yarn
install command. It is easier to use the add command :
``
λ yarn add @autoit-gui-skeleton/ags-wrapper-scrollbars --modules-folder vendor
`
The property dependencies
of the package.json
file is updated consequently, and all package dependencies, as well as daughter dependencies of parent dependencies, are installed in the ./vendor/@autoit-gui-skeleton/
directory. Note that with an AGS project, it is not necessary to explicitly write this option --modules-folder vendor
on the command line, thanks to the .yarnrc
file stored at the root of the project. Yarn automatically use .yarnrc
file to add an additional configuration of options.
`
#./.yarnrc
--modules-folder vendor
`
Finally to use this library in your AutoIt program, you need to include this library in the main program. There is no need for additional configuration to use it.
`
autoit
#include './vendor/@autoit-gui-skeleton/ags-wrapper-scrollbars/GUIScrollBars_Ex.au3'
#include './vendor/@autoit-gui-skeleton/ags-wrapper-scrollbars/GUIScrollBars_Size.au3'
