Defining and Maintaining VScroll Control Skins

The Controls sheet, shown in the following image, is displayed when the VScroll control is selected in the Control Type combo box.

The list of control skins for the vertical scroll bar control is then displayed in the Control type skin List table.

To define or maintain a vertical scroll bar control skin

  1. Perform the actions that you require to define a vertical scroll bar control skin or change an existing skin.

    For details about the areas of the Controls sheet that are common to all control types, see "Using the Controls Sheet".

  2. In the Left Btn and Right Btn combo boxes, select the images that you require for the left and right buttons on vertical scroll bars.

  3. In the Up, Disabled, Down, and Rollover thumb track combo boxes, select the images that you require for the up, down, disabled, and rollover states of the scroll bar thumb track, respectively.

  4. Click the Set button for the highlight brush if you want to select the image for the brush to be used when the scroll bar stem itself (that is, not the thumb track or the arrows) is clicked.

    When the mouse is down in this situation, that portion of the scroll bar is highlighted. If you select this brush image, highlighting is drawn using this brush or it is drawn with a black brush if no highlight brush is provided.

    The common File dialog is then displayed, to enable you to select the existing image that you want displayed for the highlight brush. To apply the image, click the Open button in the common dialog.

    When you have selected the appropriate picture file for the image, the common dialog is then closed and focus returns to the Controls sheet of the Jade Skin Maintenance dialog.

    In addition, your selected image is displayed in the text box at the right of the Highlight Brush caption.

  5. If you want to remove the current highlight brush image, click the Clear button at the right of the Highlight Brush caption.

    The highlight brush image is then removed from the text box at the right of the Highlight Brush caption on the Controls form.
