- I would like to to be able to have a split display in my program where
- a "strip" of objects are displayed at the bottom of the screen and there are
- several "dropboxes" above. The idea is that the user will click on one of the
- objects in the strip and drag it to a dropbox and release it there.
-
- I am under the impression that BOB's would be the best method of handling
- this. HOWEVER, the trick is that the strip can hold more objects than the
- screen can display so I need to be able to scroll the strip area without
- moving the rest of the screen display.
-
- Can this be accomplished using BOB's??? Can BOB's be moved to a position
- outside of the displayed screen area??? Should I use a second window to act
- as the strip. IF so, how do I move the BOB's from window<->window smoothly??
-
- Any help regarding this would be appreciated.
