Any way to...

[SteveDude]

I have a main display page with several buttons on the side. The content on the main page displays a paragraph block containing important "Read Me" information. The question is...Is there a way to disable the buttons I want until the Read Me text scrollbar actually has been moved to the bottom, as it would be if the users read the entire block of text?

Thanks.

I think you might do that with mouse position.
I know others are much better than I am at this.
It seems there aren't many online right now.
If you want to chat on a chat program I have been working on download
and I'll be online..

Thank You,

why not just put a "check box" that must be "checked", which states that the user has indeed read the text before proceeding.

[AudioSam]

I think he wants to be sure they have at least gone thru the motions of reading the important information before allowing the user to continue.
I may be wrong but I think thats it.

I thought mouse position up might do the trick.

here is a sample

yeah, it probably would. In case you "only" want to cover yourself, a checkbox will do the trick.

the great thing about AMS is there is usually about a half dozen ways to get from A to B!

Just thought I would say hello.
I downloaded the sample file for future use..

I have done this with the paragraph object and the GetScrollPosition (I think that is the right action anyway). You can get the current scroll position of the paragraph and once that equals the end of the paragraph then you can enable these other options. I did this on a software installer I created.

Here is the code I used and this was placed in the On Timer event for the page

tbRange = Paragraph.GetScrollRange("Paragraph1", true);
if tbRange.Max - (Paragraph.GetSize("Paragraph1").Height/17) <= Paragraph.GetScrollPos("Paragraph1", true) then
	Plugin.SetEnabled("Plugin1", true);
	Page.StopTimer();
end

You will have to play around with the scroll position of the object to find the correct values to use. the divisior is used to determine the height of the paragraph object and then allows you to approximately determine when you are at the end of the paragraph object.
