    OutlookBar Scroll when too many pages?

    Reply Contact

    I'm using an outlook bar in my app and when a user adds a lot of pages, they can no longer see the contents of the selected page. Is there a way to scroll the pages so that a page's content can still be visible?

    Did you set the ShowScrollButtons property to true?

    Yes I did.

    Maybe I'm not explaining it good enough. The user has filled the OutlookBar control with pages and the pages can not open since there's no room. The scrollbar buttons are on the pages not the OutlookBar control. Shouldn't there be scrollbuttons on the OutlookBar control for this to work?

    I'm probably not understanding correctly.  Could you post a picture that shows what you are describing?

    Yes I did.

    I'm not sure what forum client you are using but you should be able to post a reply with an attachment.  If you have more than one image you can zip them up as the forum software only allows one attachment per post.  If you can't figure out how to post attachment then you can e-mail me.

    Another advantage to posting as an attachment to the newsgroup is it will give others a chance to view the images as well myself and offer their own solutions to your situation.

    Ah, I didn't see the file attachment on the options tab.

    I attached a file that shows both the OutlookBar where a user can see the contents of the page and another one simulating more pages added where the user would not be able to see the contents of the page.

    Well a picture is worth a thousand words.  I understand your issue now.  Unfortunately I don't know what the resolution is.
     
    I built a small test app to reproduce your scenario and could see the problem exactly.  It would seem that there needs to be some kind of property in the outbar that would allow you to scroll the pages themselves instead of always making them smaller and smaller as more are added.  Each page needs an option to set a fixed size (within the limits of the outbar.
     
    I'm hoping someone from c1 can look at this now and see how to help you out.
     
    Sorry I couldn't help you with a simple answer.  Hopefully there is a simple answer and we are both missing something.
