nevermind, I got the hook-up.
the solution was to hardcode a directive to the screen output control... it supplements the "vertical-horizontal" control that is present on the tablet, so i have a functional four-way "scroll" button, if you will.
yet another vulgar display of my power... was finding someone to do this.

The code that generates the left-sided scrollbar:
CODE<BODY dir=rtl>
<DIV dir=ltr>
...
</DIV>
</BODY>
Now, if you can somehow wrap each page in the <BODY> tags with the dir=rtl argument, like a transparent proxy, or something like Trixie, then you got yourself a solution! (and I've done one of your "Programming Requests" /:D" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt=":D" />)
Can you REALLY do this> PLEASE! I would pay for the ability to have the scroll bar on the left.
it was buggy as all-heck in firefox. but you alone have the power to make it so.
10% of the world would thank you... cause Bill Gates seems to have forgotten he is a south-paw.

ok, i got another programming solution that may work. I call it the SouthPaw.
how about if you made a "floating" four key toolbar of keys that are bound to the left and right, and up and down arrow keys on the standard keyboard.
basically, this would just require a macro tied to each button, mimicking the controls of the arrow keys.
then, you would have a little pallet window that you could have view - tool bar - SouthPaw, which provides the function of the four keys.
if this could work fluidly and cosistently with a pen, i would buy it. Hell, i might look at doing it myself,.. I know some VB, and am a decent object oriented programmer. anyone got any tuts on building a custom toolbar in ie, or some other ie compatible tablet browser, like avant or maxthon?

About the scroll bar code in HTML, you'd have to find a proxy that allowed page rewrites.. don't know much about that myself..
However, this SouthPaw idea sounds quite the something I could also do (not that I doubt you, raum). It should be as simple as creating a COM object that hooks into IE..
I'll get on it now..! /:D" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt=":D" />

I've got some code working, hooks into IE and Windows Explorer fine, but the when I try SendKeys, it says the application isn't handling SendKeys while it's busy (which it isn't)..
I'll try sending it directly via the COM object, and executing a seperate app to send the keys doesn't work either.. I tried that
found a solution... feel free to keep working on a better 1

Micah Brodsky made Miniscoller, a great little app i found. It has great functionality, works with games, and becomes transparent when not in focus... bt stays on top.
