Is it possible to make text scrolling inside a AddonDialogWindow? Alternative would be to add buttons for next and previous page, but scrolling would look a whole lot better.
Thanks
Unfortunately TextBox control doesn't auto-scroll text and
scroll() method doesn't seem to work. The only text control with auto-scrolling is FadeLabel, but it can hold only a single line.
Again, PyXBMCt is able to do only as much as underlying xbmcgui classes are able, with all their limitations and bugs. For real visual beauty you need to use skinned XML-based UI. PyXBMCt's strong sides are relative simplicity and Python-only approach.
We can only hope that someday some Kodi developer will find time to review and improve xbmcgui classes.
My personal wish list:
- Auto-scroll property for ControlTextBox.
- A vertical scroll-bar for ControlList (at least visual).
- Various keyboards for ControlEdit (as in input Dialog).
- A multi-select Dialog.
- A SpinBox control for selecting from a range of options.
