I have a small TextEdit rectangle (in a modeless dialog), and I can't decide how to scroll it. It's only two lines high, and scrolls vertically. That makes it too short for a vertical scroll bar (which really only starts to look reasonable on something about 64 pixels high, and this rectangle is 42 pixels high). I could design my own control, though I've never done that. My idea is to use a scroll bar, but without the arrows. I would just use the thumb control. I was trying to think of similar things elsewhere in the Macintosh, and I wonder, why doesn't the comments field in the Finder's Get Info dialog have a scroll bar? Is the existing design acceptable? Does Finder 7.0 behave the same way? Any advice or ideas would be appreciated (particularly control def code for a scroll bar without arrows :-). -- John Lacey 614 436 3773 73730,2250 john@basho.uucp or basho!john@cis.ohio-state.edu
