Hi!

Anybody has an example of a scrollbar? I have a Map, in a canvas, and I want to add scrollbars, in horizontal and vertical. Any example code?

thank you very much!

hi,

do you really need it? from my experience due to limited screen size developers usually avoid using scrollbars if possible (at least with non-text data),
in case of maps simpy using joystick navigation (game keys) should work and there and there could be added "navigation mockup" drawn over map showing that map can be scrolled in given direction,
try google maps for mobile to see what I mean (they however do not provide user specific hint about scrolling map),
regards,
Peter

Hi Pepper_91,
I also suggest what peter has told you.I think its better not to use scrollbars and joystick usage is best.
Thanks

Hi,

if you use some own control displaying the big bitmaps for vertical scrolling you can use the indication between CBA buttons - but you must create it manually by calling few methods - there's a lot of posts on this topic(How to create scrollbars) on Nokia forum... Starting from 3rd edition it's possible to have also vertial scrollbar on the right side of the screen. Using vertical scrollbars is not possible and it's consider to be not a good style on S60... But I agree that sometimes it's necessary to scroll also in horizontal direction(web pages, not wrapped text files, big images..) I suggest to draw some small scroll indicatior by your own

Bye

Hi!

Thank you for your answers.

My particular case, is about a map, but not a large map, like in google maps, is a small map, about 3 or 4 screens sizes. I want that the users can know how large the map is, through the scrollbars, and the position in each moment.

Something like this:

hi guys,
I am facing a similar problem.I've developed an application that provides google maps.I need to be able to scroll through the map.The joystick control scrolling is limited to the size of the map.Once I reach the edge of the map,I need to download a new adjacent map.How can this be done?
