- This demo will illustrate the usage of the ViewList function.
- In fact, ViewList is running this demo.
-
- ViewList creates a scrolling list of text for use in your own
- programs, just like this one. You may use the mouse or the
- arrow keys on the keyboard to move through the list, or the
- ESC key or right mouse button exits. The table below describes
- all the ViewList capabilities and how your users perform them.

- Mouse support is also provided with ViewList. Place the mouse
- cursor on the up or down arrows on the scroll bar on the right
- side of the window and press the left mouse button. Placing
- the mouse cursor on the internal portion of the scroll bar and
- pressing the left mouse button will cause the list to scroll at
- a faster rate, about a window's worth at a time -- useful for
- long lists. You may exit ViewList by clicking the right mouse
- button.
-
- As mentioned above, the ViewList function provides a scroll bar
- for use in scrolling through your list of text. Located on the
- right side of the window, it consists of two arrows and a vert-
- ical bar, as well as an "elevator." The elevator is a small
- box that moves up and down the scroll bar automatically as the
- user moves through the text, showing the current relative pos-
- ition in the list. This scroll bar is generated and handled
- automatically for you by the ViewList routine. Note that the
- scroll bar shows up only if you are using a mouse.
