Disable scrolling in guiscrollcontrols

[Tigairius]

I'm not sure if there is a way, but there should be a way to disable default scrolling on guiscrolls. I've seen a lot of people that would like to see this, and this would help some of us script our own scrolling systems.

Even if vscrollbar and hscrollbar are alwaysOff, you can still scroll with mousewheel...

Arrow keys work as well.

You can accomplish it like so..

PHP Code:

// In your GuiScrollCtrl put in a couple variables..
this.disabled = true;
this.lastspos = {0,0};

// Then have the onScrolled function for that Ctrl
function yourScrollObj.onScrolled() {
  temp.lastpos = yourScrollObj.lastspos[0] SPC yourScrollObj.lastspos[1];
  if (yourScrollObj.scrollpos == lastpos) return; // To prevent unneeded changes.
  if (yourScrollObj.disabled) {
    temp.spos = yourScrollObj.lastspos; // Scroll's Last Scroll Position
    yourScrollObj.scrollto(spos[0], spos[1]);
  }
  else yourScrollObj.lastspos = yourScrollObj.scrollpos.tokenize();
} 


I'm sure you could implement a generic event for it using catchevent and whatnot

Edit: Added a statement to prevent unneeded looping.

Not really, what if I wanted to script custom scrolling to where if you scroll on the horizontal scroll bar it will scroll sideways and if you scroll anywhere else it will scroll vertically? You can't really do that without disabling every single part of the default scrolling, because it'll always scroll vertically.

Additionally, if I even tried scripting a workaround, it would end up getting really sloppy and needlessly complex.

scrollto() also triggers onScrolled(), so really you'd be ending up with a loop. I don't think it'd be unreasonable to have a flag that disables default scrolling.

Tried making the profile of the scroll control non-modal ?

Not being able to click inside/interact with the control is a huge disadvantage.

Well the goal was to not let the user scroll anymore with mouse or keyboard. When you make the scroll control non-modal then the controls inside the scroll control can still remain modal.

Oh, I wasn't aware of that. Quite interesting.

That's pretty interesting, I'll try that, thanks.

What is this non-modal thing?
