Always show scrollViewer scroll bars

Solar2D General Questions/Discussion

Hello

I saw a post from 2015 talking about scrollbar visibility and always showing scrollbars and in this post it referred to a framework-widget in gitHub. I download this and ran the App but from what I could see the scroll bar especially the horizontal one still was not visible.

I also note that within the scrollViewer there is an option to set hideScrollBar = false, which in theory should show the scroll bars, but I use this in my app and the scroll bars still do not appear even though the scrollviewer contains items that are only visible after scrolling.

has there be any new updates to the scrollViewer to make the scroll bars visible at all times if that is what the user wants?

or failing this has anyone got a nice visible option better than “>>>>>>>” that can be added to the scroll viewer to indicate to the user that more items are available if you scroll.

regards

Bruce

I’m also looking into this now for Hanger World for steam… Anyone has any idea?

If you add 

autoHideScrollBar = false

to your options table when you call widget.newScrollView(), the scrollbar will be persistent.

Thanks for that so simple, I was just looking at the Corona documents about scroll view widget and in there they talk about horizontal/vertical scroll disabled and “hideScrollBar” BUT not about “autoHideScrollBar” maybe someone from Corona can address this issue, was the documentation just put out with a typo and they missed the ‘auto’ in front of the HideScrollBar.
