There is probably a much better way to do this.
I wrote this sample over 15 years ago.
The eXpress train is coming - and it has more cars.

Brian -

Here is an improvement to the Scrolling Gets demo.

It's not perfect but it's much better.
You can also use PgUp and PgDn.

This version no longer uses CARGO. Instead it takes advantage of the feature of eXpress++ that lets you create new iVars on the fly.

Let me know if you want me to do any work for you on your app and employ something like this.

Instead of trying to take an xbase++ dialog and make it scrolling, I think i'm going to try to just make an html page that reads the .dbf data from our app when it loads (only locally from a app menu choice) , and sends the data back to the local desktop app to be posted.

I don't think i'm going to wait for alaska to "finish" the html-ui controls...

i want to include this in our app in the short term future..

no cxp, just using the same methodologies i've been using on our web app...
