## Detailed Description

This container widget lets you maneuver around a set of widgets much larger than your window.

If the child widgets are larger than the size of this object then scrollbars will appear so that you can scroll over to them:

If all of the child widgets are packed together into a solid rectangle then you want to set box() to FL_NO_BOX or one of the _FRAME types. This will result in the best output. However, if the child widgets are a sparse arrangement you must set box() to a real _BOX type. This can result in some blinking during redrawing, but that can be solved by using a Fl_Double_Window.

The Fl_Scroll widget calculates the bounding box of all its children by using their widget positions and sizes (x, y, w, h). Outside labels are not considered. If you need outside labels of any widgets or free space outside of this bounding box you can add a tiny invisible Fl_Box at the relevant corner(s) of the Fl_Scroll widget, for instance:

Fl_Scroll scroll(100, 100, 200, 200); // Fl_Scroll at (100, 100)
Fl_Box(100, 100, 1, 1); // Fl_Box in top left corner
Fl_Input(150, 120, 60, 30, "Input:"); // left most widget with label
// ... more widgets ...
scroll.end();
Fl_Box
This widget simply draws its box, and possibly its label.
Definition Fl_Box.H:34
Fl_Input
This is the FLTK text input widget.
Definition Fl_Input.H:220
Fl_Scroll::Fl_Scroll
Fl_Scroll(int X, int Y, int W, int H, const char *L=0)
Creates a new Fl_Scroll widget using the given position, size, and label string.
Definition Fl_Scroll.cxx:542

By default you can scroll in both directions, and the scrollbars disappear if the data will fit in the area of the scroll.

Use Fl_Scroll::type() to change this as follows :

- 0 - No scrollbars
- Fl_Scroll::HORIZONTAL - Only a horizontal scrollbar.
- Fl_Scroll::VERTICAL - Only a vertical scrollbar.
- Fl_Scroll::BOTH - The default is both scrollbars.
- Fl_Scroll::HORIZONTAL_ALWAYS - Horizontal scrollbar always on, vertical always off.
- Fl_Scroll::VERTICAL_ALWAYS - Vertical scrollbar always on, horizontal always off.
- Fl_Scroll::BOTH_ALWAYS - Both always on.

Use scrollbar.align(int) ( see void Fl_Widget::align(Fl_Align) ) : to change what side the scrollbars are drawn on.

If the FL_ALIGN_LEFT bit is on, the vertical scrollbar is on the left. If the FL_ALIGN_TOP bit is on, the horizontal scrollbar is on the top. Note that only the alignment flags in scrollbar are considered. The flags in hscrollbar however are ignored.

This widget can also be used to pan around a single child widget "canvas". This child widget should be of your own class, with a draw() method that draws the contents. The scrolling is done by changing the x() and y() of the widget, so this child must use the x() and y() to position its drawing. To speed up drawing it should test fl_not_clipped(int x,int y,int w,int h) to find out if a particular area of the widget must be drawn.

Another very useful child is a single Fl_Pack, which is itself a group that packs its children together and changes size to surround them. Filling the Fl_Pack with Fl_Tabs groups (and then putting normal widgets inside those) gives you a very powerful scrolling list of individually-openable panels.

Fluid lets you create these, but you can only lay out objects that fit inside the Fl_Scroll without scrolling. Be sure to leave space for the scrollbars, as Fluid won't show these either.

You cannot use Fl_Window as a child of this since the clipping is not conveyed to it when drawn, and it will draw over the scrollbars and neighboring objects.

## Constructor & Destructor Documentation

## ◆ Fl_Scroll()

Fl_Scroll::Fl_Scroll | ( | int | X,
|  | int | Y,
|  | int | W,
|  | int | H,
|  | const char * | L = 0 )

Creates a new Fl_Scroll widget using the given position, size, and label string.

The default boxtype is FL_NO_BOX.

The destructor also deletes all the children. This allows a whole tree to be deleted at once, without having to keep a pointer to all the children in the user code. A kludge has been done so the Fl_Scroll and all of its children can be automatic (local) variables, but you must declare the Fl_Scroll first, so that it is destroyed last.

## ◆ ~Fl_Scroll()

Fl_Scroll::~Fl_Scroll | ( |  | ) |
| virtual

The destructor also deletes all the children.

See also
  Fl_Group::~Fl_Group()

## Member Function Documentation

## ◆ bbox()

void Fl_Scroll::bbox | ( | int & | X,
|  | int & | Y,
|  | int & | W,
|  | int & | H ) const
| protected

Returns the bounding box for the interior of the scrolling area, inside the scrollbars.

This method does not change the scrollbars or their visibility. First the scrollbar positions and visibility are calculated as they should be, according to the positions and sizes of the children. Then the bounding box is calculated.

You may need to call redraw() to make sure the widget gets updated.

See also
  recalc_scrollbars()

## ◆ delete_child()

int Fl_Scroll::delete_child | ( | int | index | ) |
| virtual

Removes the widget at `index` from the group and deletes it.

This method does nothing if `index` is out of bounds or if Fl_Group::child(index) is one of the scrollbars.

Parameters

  [in] | index | index of child to be removed

Returns
  success (0) or error code

Return values

  0 | success
  1 | index out of range
  2 | widget not allowed to be removed (see note)

See also
  Fl_Group::delete_child(int index)

Since
  FLTK 1.4.0

Reimplemented from Fl_Group.

## ◆ draw()

void Fl_Scroll::draw | ( |  | ) |
| protected virtual

Draws the widget.

Never call this function directly. FLTK will schedule redrawing whenever needed. If your widget must be redrawn as soon as possible, call redraw() instead.

Override this function to draw your own widgets.

If you ever need to call another widget's draw method from within your own draw() method, e.g. for an embedded scrollbar, you can do it (because draw() is virtual) like this:

Fl_Widget *s = &scrollbar; // scrollbar is an embedded Fl_Scrollbar
s->draw(); // calls Fl_Scrollbar::draw()

Reimplemented from Fl_Group.

## ◆ fix_scrollbar_order()

void Fl_Scroll::fix_scrollbar_order | ( |  | ) |
| protected

Ensure the scrollbars are the last children.

When Fl_Scroll is instantiated the first child of the Fl_Group is the vertical scrollbar `scrollbar` and the second child is the horizontal scrollbar `hscrollbar`.

These two widgets must always be the last two widgets and in this order to guarantee the correct drawing order and event delivery.

Since FLTK 1.4.0 the new method on_insert() modifies the insert position of other children if it would be after the scrollbars.

## ◆ handle()

int Fl_Scroll::handle | ( | int | event | ) |
| virtual

Handles the specified event.

You normally don't call this method directly, but instead let FLTK do it when the user interacts with the widget.

When implemented in a widget, this function must return 0 if the widget does not use the event or 1 otherwise.

Most of the time, you want to call the inherited handle() method in your overridden method so that you don't short-circuit events that you don't handle. In this last case you should return the callee retval.

One exception to the rule in the previous paragraph is if you really want to override the behavior of the base class. This requires knowledge of the details of the inherited class.

In rare cases you may want to return 1 from your handle() method although you don't really handle the event. The effect would be to filter event processing, for instance if you want to dismiss non-numeric characters (keypresses) in a numeric input widget. You may "ring the bell" or show another visual indication or drop the event silently. In such a case you must not call the handle() method of the base class and tell FLTK that you consumed the event by returning 1 even if you didn't do anything with it.

Parameters

  [in] | event | the kind of event received

Return values

  0 | if the event was not used or understood
  1 | if the event was used and can be deleted

See also
  Fl_Event

Reimplemented from Fl_Group.

## ◆ on_insert()

int Fl_Scroll::on_insert | ( | Fl_Widget * | candidate,
|  | int | index )
| protected virtual

Change insert position of a child before it is added.

Fix insert position if the new child is planned to be inserted after the scrollbars. We can assume that the scrollbars are always the last two children!

Fl_Group calls this when a new widget is added. We return the new index if the new widget would be added after the scrollbars.

Parameters

  [in] | candidate | the candidate will be added to the child array_ after this method returns.
  [in] | index | add the child at this position in the array_

Returns
  index to position the child as planned
  a new index to force the child to a different position
  -1 to keep the group from adding the candidate

Version
  1.4.0

See also
  Fl_Group::on_insert(Fl_Widget *candidate, int index)

Reimplemented from Fl_Group.

## ◆ on_move()

int Fl_Scroll::on_move | ( | int | old_index,
|  | int | new_index )
| protected virtual

Change new position of a child before it is moved.

Fix new position if the new child is planned to be moved after the scrollbars. We can assume that the scrollbars are always the last two children!

Fl_Group calls this when a widget is moved within the list of children. We return a new index if the widget would be moved after the scrollbars.

Parameters

  old_index | the current index of the child that will be moved
  new_index | the new index of the child

Returns
  new index, possibly corrected to avoid last two scrollbar entries

Reimplemented from Fl_Group.

## ◆ recalc_scrollbars()

void Fl_Scroll::recalc_scrollbars | ( | ScrollInfo & | si | ) | const
| protected

Calculate visibility/size/position of scrollbars, find children's bounding box.

The `si` parameter will be filled with data from the calculations. Derived classes can make use of this call to figure out the scrolling area eg. during resize() handling.

This method does not change the scrollbars or their visibility. It calculates the scrollbar positions and visibility as they should be, according to the positions and sizes of the children.

You may need to call redraw() to make sure the widget gets updated.

Parameters

  [in,out] | si | – ScrollInfo structure, filled with data

## ◆ resize()

void Fl_Scroll::resize | ( | int | X,
|  | int | Y,
|  | int | W,
|  | int | H )
| virtual

Resizes the Fl_Scroll widget and moves its children if necessary.

The Fl_Scroll widget first resizes itself, and then it moves all its children if (and only if) the Fl_Scroll widget has been moved. The children are moved by the same amount as the Fl_Scroll widget has been moved, hence all children keep their relative positions.

Note
  Fl_Scroll::resize() does not call Fl_Group::resize(), and child widgets are not resized.

Since children of an Fl_Scroll are not resized, the resizable() widget is ignored (if it is set).

The scrollbars are moved to their proper positions, as given by Fl_Scroll::scrollbar.align(), and switched on or off as necessary.

Note
  Due to current (FLTK 1.3.x) implementation constraints some of this may effectively be postponed until the Fl_Scroll is drawn the next time. This may change in a future release.

Reimplemented from Fl_Group.

## ◆ scroll_to()

void Fl_Scroll::scroll_to | ( | int | X,
|  | int | Y )

Moves the contents of the scroll group to a new position.

This is like moving the scrollbars of the Fl_Scroll around. For instance:

Fl_Scroll scroll (10,10,200,200);
Fl_Box b1 ( 10, 10,50,50,"b1"); // relative (x,y) = (0,0)
Fl_Box b2 ( 60, 60,50,50,"b2"); // relative (x,y) = (50,50)
Fl_Box b3 ( 60,110,50,50,"b3"); // relative (x,y) = (50,100)
// populate scroll with more children ...
scroll.end();
scroll.scroll_to(50,100);

will move the logical origin of the internal scroll area to (-50,-100) relative to the origin of the Fl_Scroll (10,10), i.e. Fl_Box b3 will be visible in the top left corner of the scroll area.

## ◆ scrollbar_size() [1/2]

int Fl_Scroll::scrollbar_size | ( |  | ) | const
| inline

Gets the current size of the scrollbars' troughs, in pixels.

If this value is zero (default), this widget will use the Fl::scrollbar_size() value as the scrollbar's width.

Returns
  Scrollbar size in pixels, or 0 if the global Fl::scrollbar_size() is being used.

  Fl::scrollbar_size(int)

## ◆ scrollbar_size() [2/2]

void Fl_Scroll::scrollbar_size | ( | int | newSize | ) |
| inline

Sets the pixel size of the scrollbars' troughs to `newSize`, in pixels.

Normally you should not need this method, and should use Fl::scrollbar_size(int) instead to manage the size of ALL your widgets' scrollbars. This ensures your application has a consistent UI, is the default behavior, and is normally what you want.

Only use THIS method if you really need to override the global scrollbar size. The need for this should be rare.

Setting `newSize` to the special value of 0 causes the widget to track the global Fl::scrollbar_size(), which is the default.

Parameters

  [in] | newSize | Sets the scrollbar size in pixels. If 0 (default), scrollbar size tracks the global Fl::scrollbar_size()
