Re: Scrolling GUI

Hi Reiner,

The TGCanvas widget we have is a frame containing two scrollbars (a horizontal and vertical) and a view port that acts as a window through which the contents of the container frame can be seen. The creation of any TGCanvas object requires a few more settings related to its container and view port. For example:

   fGcan = new TGCanvas(your_main_frame, width, height, options);    fContent = new
TGCompositeFrame(fGcan->GetViewPort(),width1,height1,options1);

   layout = new TGXYLayout(...);
   fContent->SetLayoutManager(layout); //layout will be deleted by fContent    fGcan->SetContainer(fContent);
...
You can find examples in guitest.C, RootShower.cxx, TSessionViewer.cxx, TGedEditor.cxx, etc.

Cheers, Ilka
