Total height of a GuiScrollCtrl

[cbk1994]

Is there any way to find the "total height" of a GuiScrollCtrl, meaning how far "down" it will actually scroll (same for horizontal scrolling)? I know you could get it by looping through all the controls, but it seems like there should be a better way.

Thanks.

Something like this would probably suffice, kind of a hack fix though.

PHP Code:

//#CLIENTSIDE

// Usage: getMaxScrollPos(someScrollGUI);
// Returns: {maxhorizontalpos, maxverticalpos}


function getMaxScrollPos(obj) {
  // Record Original Scroll Position 
  temp.original = obj.scrollpos.tokenize(); 
  // Scroll to the Limits 
  obj.scrolldelta(0x7fffffff, 0x7fffffff);
  // Record Actual Limits 
  temp.max = obj.scrollpos.tokenize(); 
  // Scroll back to Original Position 
  obj.scrollto(temp.original[0], temp.original[1]);
  // Return Actual Limits 
  return temp.max; 
}

No, it's for creating custom scrollbars.

...no?

I'm retard. I thought that maybe you were trying to detect the total size of a PM bank based on the scroll bar and stop them from opening if it were too large. But now that I think about it you would need to open the PM first to be able to detect anything about the GUI window anyway.

I wouldn't consider this a reliable way to catch it anyway, but there really needs to be an image spam prevention, and one that prevents linking non-images since you can freeze someone by image tagging things like Linux ISOs (which can be prevented using wordfilter rules until then).

The PM spam crashing trick doesn't work on someone using Linux, I've found, now it just needs to be fixed for other platforms.
