The scrollbar should be implemented as widget to use it where it need.

Replying to andrew_b:

And where would be that, besides panels? WListboxes already have their own scrollbar.

Do you need it right now?

Yes. This scrollbar should be reinplemented to WScrollbar widget to use it in panels, listboxes, etc.

Yes. No. I need it since 1.5 years ago. :) I also have it since 1.5 years ago.
There are various patches for this since the beginning of time. Just look at Debian.

Yes. This scrollbar should be reinplemented to WScrollbar widget to use it in panels, listboxes, etc.

This is called overdoing things (hunting mosquitoes with a Howitzer). I'd rather save those few extra cycles of CPU for anything better (or memory; or disk space). I'd rather have it the simple way than not having it at all. Ok, so I have it already, sorry for sharing it.

A simple thing that makes life easier, but won't, because it is not implemented The Right Way (tm). But The Right Way (tm) takes too much time, so it won't get implemented in the near future.

Sorry, too much coffee :)

  • severity changed from on review to on rework

Okay, as we discuss in jabber room, need to rework scrollbar. This must be fully-functional widget (with reaction on mouse scroll or click) and need to add srollbar (as widget) into LIST, PANEL etc. elements (not in all widgets).
