This tag creates a vertical scrollbar. If you do not specify a
scrolltarget the scrollbar will automatically
be aligned to the right and size its height to its parent's height.
It is expected that the parent view be smaller than the scrolltarget
and set clip=true
. The scrolling effect is produced by
moving the scrolltarget while its visible region is clipped by the
parent view.
If you would like the target view to start scrolled, simply set its
y position to a negative number. For example, y=-10
will
cause the view to be scrolled 10 pixels.
If you have no horizontal scrollbars in your application, using
the vscrollbar tag will make the applications
slightly smaller, than if you were to use <scrollbar
axis="y">
.
<canvas height="160" bgcolor="silver">
<view name="main" x="20" y="20" bgcolor="white"
width="100" height="80" clip="true">
<text multiline="true">
1<br/>2<br/>3<br/>4<br/>5<br/>6<br/>7<br/>8<br/>9<br/>10
</text>
<vscrollbar/>
</view>
</canvas>
In the example above, the scrolltarget is the
contents view. A scrollbar moves its
scrolltarget along its axis. The attribute
that is controlled by the scrollbar may be specified as the
scrollattr, overriding the default value of
x
or y
.
