- Longer description
- ------------------
-
- ScrollMaster performs scrolling on the window that is below the
- scrollbox. For scrolling to be possible, the underlaying window must
- have scrollbars and the scrollbars must be of type 'ScrollBar'.
- Scrollbars in MS-Windows is not always of type 'ScrollBar' even if they
- look like scrollbars. Scrollbars in LOTUS123 and MS-Word is an
- example on this. For scrolling to be possible in programs like this, the
- scrollbar-type must be registered in the ScrollMaster ini-file. This is
- done by entering the scrollbar-type on the line outside the text
- 'ScrollBar'. On this line there will always be entered 2 other scrollbar-
- types: OpusRSB and 123WScrollBar. If the user enters a program
- where ScrollMaster does not work, and the user is able to find out
- the scrollbar-type, the scrollbar-type can be registeret outside the
- line 'ScrollBar' in the ini-file. Scrollbar-types must be entered with a
- space in between. Doing this there is a great possibility that scrolling
- will work in the program.
-
- If scrolling still will not work or user does not has access to the
- information about the scrollbar-type, write to Jarle Pettersen.
- Remember to state the name and version no. of the program where
- ScrollMaster does not work.

- Known anomalies
- ---------------
-
- When running MS-Powerpoint (ver 3.0) the program enters GP-
- Fault when using ScrollMaster. We believe that this is due to a
- memory/stack problem in Powerpoint and not a problem in
- ScrollMaster. ScrollMaster uses only documented MS-SDK routines,
- and Powerpoint failes when receiving a perfectly legal 'PostMessage'-
- command.
-
- In the errorsituation Dr.Watson (Microsoft product) reports that ES-
- register is NULL, which is illegal in the circumstances. Powerpoint
- executes a Local or Global Reallocation of memory when receiving the
- 'PostMessage' and the error occur in MS-Windows USER.EXE library.
