Title: Virtual Index Cards
Post by: Fumio on December 10, 2012, 03:34:29 AM
Hello all:
I'm hopeful someone can start me down the correct path on this subject. What I would like to create using masm is a window that would have multiple edit or richedit controls that could have their respective positions exchanged with another text control in the group and if the window is small enough the user could scroll through the window to view all the controls. Using Python's canvas and scrolledtext files allows creation of a window which will scroll through multiple text controls. How should I approach this from a masm prospective?
Regards, Fumio

Hello,
you can create an intermediate control that has scroll bars and allows to simulate a larger client area. The edit controls are then owned and clipped by this helper-control - shouldn't be that hard to implement.
