Mike Tuxford: Hmmm, do I see a poll coming up? Windows has what, about 90% of the desktop market? My knee-jerk reaction is that I doubt a poll would show Tcl programmers to be 90% windows users.FW: No, it's more like 60%, right? I only vaguely remember the figure.RS codes on Win2k, Solaris, Linux at work, and W95 and Windows/CE at home. Who cares for the OS when he has Tcl? ;-) MT: A lot of people might care. I once watched someone on irc say something like "yeah but most perl programmers are windows users". The result was not a pretty sight. ;)PT: From Microsoft's MSDN scrollbar documentation: "An application sends the SBM_SETPOS message to a scroll bar control to set the position of the scroll box (thumb) and, if requested, redraw the scroll bar to reflect the new position of the scroll box." "The GetScrollPos function retrieves the current position of the scroll box (thumb) in the specified scroll bar." They definitely refer to this as a scroll box in the majority of cases. See http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/dnwue/html/ch07d.asp
for their description of how to use a scroll bar (about half way down).DKF: The horizonal scroll thumb sometimes reminds me of those things you get in airports, often called travelators. Horrible word.
