Accessing subwindow code inside complex grid

Tue Jan 21 00:24:33 UTC 2025

Hello All,

I've also run into the same problem. Sub-windows on a complex grid work good
only for pretty simplistic situations.
What I've done  to get past this is to basically make my own list with a
scrollbox and a sub-window representation of the entire list line.

There are a couple of options to implement the scrolling depending on how
many lines you're expecting.

You can either make the number of sub-windows equal to the number of lines
and use the scrollbox to scroll them as expected, or, create enough
sub-windows to fill the scrollbox and change the line assignment to the
sub-windows as the user scrolls.

We tried subwindows in a complex grid years ago, and couldn't make it work.
It's frustrating because it would really solve a few problems for us.

Regards
Paul.

pointed out that a line in the documentation says that when there is a
subwindow in the complex grid, all the lines share it. There is not an
instance of the subwindow for each line, so I may have to redesign this.

I was going to wear my camouflage shirt today, but I couldn't find it.
