Always show a part of a form - like freeze panes in Excel

[lewis4242]

In Excel you can lock cells so that they always appear no matter where you scroll.

Has anyone done anything similar with livecycle?  I'm designing a wide form with a table and I'd like to keep some values visible on the left as the user scrolls to the right. 

Any advice, ideas or inspiration greatly recieved!

I don't think this is possible.

In Designer you have a fixed area to display a table which depends on the page size and the content area.

Every object that is larger than this area will cause a page break or is cut off.

In Excel you have no fixed area, that's why you see the scroll bars when the table is larger than the displaying area.

Hi,

Just a thought.

I think it would be possible to build a table with buttons nearby (styled to be similar to scrool bars buttons) that would hide a bottom row and reveal a top row with each click--and the opposit with the other button. You wouldn't have a place indicator, though. Also, with another set of buttons, you could hide and reveal 10 rows--thereby paging, sort of.

A script would require all the rows to be named the same, at least for simplicity.

.Good luck!

Great idea Stephen! Could maybe do something where it 'pages' across on an tab. Hmm interesting. Thanks

Another thought regarding tabbing.

Regarding Tabbing--you could setup some buttons that have scripts on the "enter", "exit" and "click" . Enter & Exit are triggered by tabbing--perhaps changing color and showing/revealing table rows.. Click allows user to skip to it directly.

Good luck!

P.S. MouseEnter & MouseExit don't work as expected on buttons--use enter & exit.
