- I'm a M2 UNIX programmer and programming in MS Windows is pretty new to me.
-
- I'm writing a program that can allow a user to select a record from
- a listbox. Now this list of record can easily exceed the 64K barrier.
- So my questions are:
-
- 1. How can I interrupt the user when he's trying to scroll down/up,
- so I can load the next/prev 64K segment from the file ?
-
- 2. And even if that can be done, how do I maintain the scrollbar to
- show the position of the bar within the whole database, but not
- just within the 64K segment ??
-
- 3. If that is totally impossible, can anyone tell me where can
- I find information (books maybe) about writing a widget ( or
- whatever it's called in MS Windows ) ?
-
- Thanks!
