Re: [Dynapi-Dev] Create a form which "grows" as user needs

[Al B. <by...@lo...>]

Luca,

I am not sure that this is what you are looking for, but I had a need to add
multiple DynLayer objects to a "ScrollPane" object, which descends from the
"ViewPort" objects. I ended up combining both sets of code into one object,
rather than descend from ScrollPane, because it did not like creating the
Scrollbar objects in ScrollPane in the prototype assignment before
DynAPI.document was created.

The current ViewPort code is just designed to show one object, but it was
fairly simple to change "content" to an array of objects. It showed up fine in
the ScrollPane. I was just fooling around and the code is just a mesh of the
two objects, but I can send it to you if you want.
