In REALbsic, is it possible to control the scrolling of the HTML viewer loaded page using "external controls"?

What I mean is... of course when a page is loaded into the HTML viewer, it has its own default scrolling bars, vertical and horizontal. Don't ask me why, but I need to control the scrolling using a set of 4 external buttons, what I mean by "external buttons" is just a set of 4 simple push buttons each one with the proper code which produces the scroll in the HTMLviewer.

Actually, is it possible at all, I looked for in many forums, there are similar questions, but there are no answers at all.

I do not know of any way you can control scrolling of the REALbasic HTMLView control manually.

You might want to check out the HTMLViewer control included with the MonkeyBread Plugins. I haven't used these plugins myself, but they seem to have a lot of capabilities, including some HTMLViewer scrolling properties.

Well, if I can dig it out, since the scroll bar is not control-rendered but simply a bound system-class, you can technicly control any scroll bar on the screen. Using the Declare statement and the win32.api or Carbon on mac, gtk or kde ( depending on the current window enviornment ) you can control it. I'll research this and come up with some sample code. I don't know why they didn't just add a scroll method like the canvas class ;(
