Freeform scrollbar missing

[jordi]

Hi,

I am using Freeform, and the form I am doing is 800x700. In my laptop, it doesn't appear full inside FreeForm.

As there are no scrollbars, I can't see the full window so I can edit it.

How do I make Freeform display scrollbars so I can see the full form?

Thank you

Jordi,
Technically, you simply have to add the single line shown below in the Freeform code after the #form window is opened.

#form "VertScrollbar On"

With that being said, you will have to adjust quite a bit of other code since the menu bar at the top is rendered on the Graphics window. Adding the line above will allow the scrollbar to be shown and give the ability to scroll the graphics window, but the menu options (or BMPButtons) are still shown at the top. One way to resolve this would be to use the Windows API to get the position of the scrollbar, and if it is not at the very top, then hide all of the menu BMPButtons; otherwise if it is at the top then show them.
