Re: Scrollable menu/dialog
Are we talking about scrolling dialogs or getting the results of an HTML form submission?
The html viewer was added as a convenient way for people to style dialogs. Handling form submits was beyond the scope. But we can look at it.
As for results of selections, radio buttons and so forth, you can already get the selected value of a radio or checkbox, or drop down ... if you are talking about native controls.

Re: Scrollable menu/dialog
Sorry for the confusion in having this request in this topic. I mean getting the results from a form submit, I figured it was fairly straight forward since the library already have that mechanism in place.
I know about the native control but since I'm having dynamic data forms based on file data the dynamic approach would be ideal. If not I have to either create psudo-dynamic dialogs using the hack where I write an .scp file and re-read it before showing the dialog or add a ton of *maybe* used input elements which I then show/hide if they are needed.
So, please investigate the HTMLViewer's functions and see if they are easily added to MS as well.

Hi Grovkillen,
Did you ever get this working?
Shame no one from ms respond on this anymore.

Re: Scrollable menu/dialog
No for this to work we need the internal mechanism of MS to give us the data.

Re: [added in 15.0.27] Scrollable menu/dialog
Not sure about the use-case but here's a way of adding buttons with data stored in the forms attributes:
Code: Select all
Dialog>Dialog1
object Dialog1: TForm
BorderIcons = [biSystemMenu]
Caption = 'CustomDialog'
ClientHeight = 220
ClientWidth = 250
object MSHTMLViewer1: tMSHTMLViewer
Left = 0
Top = 0
Width = 250
Height = 220
Anchors = [akLeft, akTop, akRight, akBottom]
end
end

Cluster buttons on the right side, test to resize the dialog and you'll see that the buttons adapt.
Code: Select all

BorderIcons = [biSystemMenu]

ClientHeight = 220
ClientWidth = 250

@Marcus. Perhaps look and see what the _OBJ is passing when using the OnObjectClick? It seems to lock MS if used.

I downloaded the image from this example and found out that the Viewer will automatically load a href:ed local html file if clicked:
Code: Select all

ClientHeight = 400
ClientWidth = 400

Top = 0
Width = 400
Height = 400
Anchors = [akLeft, akTop, akRight, akBottom]
end
end
