[Resolved] scrollview height/mask problem

Solar2D General Questions/Discussion

I want to set my newscrollview to a specific height

there are two ways to do that

1 - either by setting the height property,
or
2 - by using masks

the problem is when you change the ScollView size it changes only the look of the scrollview and it will not prevent the hidden area from being touch enabled? is this a bug?

here is the code

local widget = require "widget"  
  
local myscrollview = widget.newScrollView{  
 height = 300,  
 maskFile="mask.png"  
}  
  
local obj1 = display.newRect(0, 0, display.contentWidth, display.contentHeight)  
obj1:setReferencePoint( display.TopLeftReferencePoint )   
obj1:setFillColor(255,27,27)  
obj1.x = 0  
obj1.y = 0  
  
local obj2 = display.newRect(0, 0, display.contentWidth, display.contentHeight)  
obj2:setReferencePoint( display.TopLeftReferencePoint )   
obj2:setFillColor(0,27,27)  
obj2.x = 0  
obj2.y = 260  
myscrollview:insert(obj1)  
myscrollview:insert(obj2)

is there any way to prevent the masked area from being touched??? I believe this is the normal behavior and it should work like this?

Thanks in Advance

I think I have figured it out :slight_smile:

you have to add this line of code

 myscrollview.isHitTestMasked = true

see if you want the Documentation of isHitTestMasked

Hey, thanks for updating this with your solution :slight_smile:

Just for future reference I’d suggest trying to post widget related threads in the new widget sub forum; it should help you get faster answers :wink:
