Scrolling windows


It's time for the scrolling window .

Draw a scrolling window on the face of the Customer_Contact_Lookup window. Make it big enough to cover nearly the entire window.

Complete the visual properties of the Scrolling Window Options window as shown in the following screenshot:

Setting properties for a scrolling window is a little different from other fields. The visual properties for the scrolling window are set from the host window. In our case, the host window is the Customer_Contact_Lookup window.

Select the scrolling window and you'll see you have only the Visual tab in the Properties window. In order to access the object properties, you need to double-click on the scrolling window to open it. For now, just set the visual properties according to the following table:
