Scrollable window with images

Hello,

any idea to create in OS4 a Scrollable Window that contains multiple images in it?

@AmigaBlitter

You can use ListBrowser or PicFlow (on os4depot.net). (Or use Space gadget and implement scrolling on your own.)

@AmigaBlitter

What do you mean by a scrollable window with multiple images?

There are quite a few varaiations on that simple description.

For single column of thumbnails MultiViewer style, just use listbrowser.

For grid of thumbnail images, (more similar to PTP.usbfd) you might create an aray of buttons attach the images and put them in a virtual gadget.

For very large images, you might need to do custom rendering.

More details you give in this kind of question the more specific and helpful we can be...

Thank you for the reply

@TSK
Can ListBrowser shows trasparent or free form images?

@BroadBlues

I have a Windows where i draw some images that changes from time to time, arragend in a sort of grid. Each image can be max 128x128. The images should be interactive (clickable).

Later i would like to make those images animated.

You might need to use the render hook for that.

Without a hook you get the default background.


With a hook you could do anything you wanted.

A grid of button.gadgets in a virtual gadget would work for this, you can use BUTTON_BevelStyle,BVS_NONE and BUTTON_Transparent,TRUE, to get borderless "freeform images".

If the frame rate is not too fast you could just update the buttons images on a timer.

Just as an after thought, if your images were like jigsawpuzzle pieces and needed to interlink/ overlap then custom rendering and input handling will be needed.
