I was trying to create a table (3 columns, n rows). I wanted to use a
separate sequence-dialog-item for each column. This would allow me the
greatest number of rows (b/c of the 8K list manager limit).
Given this set up, what would be the best way to have one scroll bar that
scrolls all three items? I thought about letting one of the
sequence-dialog-items have a scroll bar and update the other two columns
when the main one is scrolled.
The other option I considered is having a separate scrollbar item that
scrolls all three columns. However, I must not understand the role of the
scrollee. I thought that the value that you pass as the scrollee to a
scrollbar was just used as the parameter to the scroll-bar-changed method.
However, it seems that there are some restrictions on what can be a
scrollee because when I try to pass a list of the three
sequence-dialog-items to the scrollbar as the scrollee I get an error. Can
someone clarify any restrictions on the scrollee?
For example (very crude example):
(defun test-table ()
(let*
((a-list '(1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16))
(win (make-instance 'window))
(t1
(make-instance 'sequence-dialog-item
:table-sequence a-list
:visible-dimensions #@(1 6)
:view-container win
:table-vscrollp '()))
(t2
(make-instance 'sequence-dialog-item
:table-sequence a-list
:visible-dimensions #@(1 6)
:view-container win
:table-vscrollp '()))
(t3
(make-instance 'sequence-dialog-item
:table-sequence a-list
:visible-dimensions #@(1 6)
:view-container win
:table-vscrollp '()))
(sb
(make-instance 'scroll-bar-dialog-item
:direction :vertical
:view-container win
:scrollee `(,t1 ,t2 ,t3))))))
? (test-table)
