Description
The OBJECT SET SCROLLBAR command allows you to display or hide the horizontal and/or vertical scrollbars in the object set using the object and * parameters.
If you pass the optional * parameter, you indicate that the object parameter is an object name (string). If you do not pass this parameter, you indicate that the object parameter is a variable. In this case, you do not pass a string, but a variable reference. For more information about object names, refer to the Object Properties section.
In the horizontal and vertical parameters, you pass values indicating whether the corresponding scrollbars should be displayed. You can pass either Boolean values (True=displayed, False=hidden), or numeric values (0=hidden, 1=displayed, 2=automatic mode). Using numeric values gives you access to the automatic mode, where scrollbars are only displayed when necessary.
The following table indicates the values you can pass in the horizontal and vertical parameters for objects that accept scrollbars (automatic mode is not available for all objects):
| Objects with scrollbars | Hide scrollbar | Show scrollbar | Automatic mode |
|---|---|---|---|
| Text object fields and variables | False or 0 | True or 1 | not available |
| Picture object fields and variables | False or 0 | True or 1 | 2 |
| List boxes | False or 0 | True or 1 | 2 |
| Hierarchical lists | False or 0 | True or 1 | 2 |
| Subforms | False or 0 | True or 1 | not available |
By default, scrollbars are displayed.
Note: For more information about the automatic mode, refer to Scroll bars.
