With the new Daily Build v2015.2617 the Candy Widget “NewScrollView” doesn’t work in the Windows simulator but it works on the device. When I roll back to v2015.2616 it works fine
Also on the Mac simulator and on the apple device it works fine.
Its just on the Windows simulator the Candy Widget ScrollView doesn’t work.
Anyone else have this problem? Or anyone have this problem with the Corona API scrollview?
Thanks!
I guess no one uses Widget Candy…
I re-wrote the code with Corona’s widget.newScrollView replacing the Candy Widget and it works. So, Corona’s widget Scrollview works fine. Apparently, the Candy Widget ScrollView never gets focus, ever. And when I give it focus:
display.getCurrentStage():setFocus( \_G.GUI.GetHandle("MY\_SCROLLVIEW" ))
It loses the focus after I scroll only once(i.e. the touch event ends).
Waiting for the new daily build to see if this will get fixed …
What the heck is going on?? It doesn’t work with v2015.2618 either. How can it work on everything; mac simulator, android device, apple devices but not the windows simulator?
If a daily build works on the device but not the simulator-- is that the ultimate test not to worry about using that daily build?
I guess I feel better talking to myself about this
Hi @burnsj002,
Just to clarify, is this an issue with a “widget candy”-created scrollView? If so, we have no control over that 3rd-party library and it’s up to the author to fix any issues within in. On the other hand, if this is a proveable issue in Corona SDK itself (the “stock” scrollView), then please post exactly what the issue is and we can take it from there.
Thanks,
Brent
Hey Brent, thanks for the reply. Yes its only a Widget Candy problem. I actually wrote the code for the Corona Widget ScrollView and it worked. But Widget Candy has so much more features I don’t wish to spend my time trying to re-invent the wheel. ugh
Anyway, I know its a third party but does Corona still indorse X-pressive products like Particle Candy, Widget Candy & Text Candy? It seems they have fallen off the face of the earth from the looks of the forums…

Hi Jeff,
Unfortunately, we can’t really endorse these products any longer. There have been several reports in the forums over the past few months that the author is unresponsive to all means of communication, and that the product(s) have not been updated in quite some time. So, until we hear otherwise, we have to assume that support and development of these has ended.
Take care,
Brent
Well if anybody else using Widget Candy has this problem I seemed to have fixed the issue… its with General Widget Properties “border”
I used the example Widget Candy ScrollView from the X-PRESSIVE website and it worked, so I narrowed down what was causing the issue… my previous Candy Widget Scrollview did not have a border – so I added this Property to the widget:
border = {“inset”,4,1, 1,1,1 ,.25, 0,0,0, 1},
Hope this helps anybody. But the problem was only in the Windows Simulator (Mac Sim, Android Device & Apple Devices it worked fine)… but its still annoying ugh
Actually, It’s not the border property – its graphics.newMask
The Corona SDK api for a NewScrollView in the Gotchas talk about inserting too many objects with a mask. There is a nested masking limit of 3.
You have to remove the mask code from “NewScrollView” function in the Widget Candy lua file
—Grp.Mask = graphics.newMask(V.Themes[Props.theme].folderPath…V.Themes[Props.theme].maskImage)
Even if we recommend a 3rd party solution, the 3rd party still has to support it. We don’t have access to their code or we may not know how to use it very well. So there is a huge difference between endorsing something and providing support for it.

Actually engineering has fixed a bug that could be interfering with this. It should be fixed in 2619.
Rob
You’re right Rob, I just tried 2619 and it worked. 
Thanks
