[Gambas-user] simple web page viewer scrolling problem

[PM47]

Thanks for your reply. In the current application I want a web page 'viewer',
not a web page 'browser'. The display is a small seven inch touchscreen
mounted on our lounge wall used to select music and radio stations for our
home media system (also written in Gambas3 :-). The web pages to be
displayed are the radio programme schedule pages published by, amongst
others, the BBC. The screen is not large enough, or required, to display the
web page with all the usual clutter of a browser (navigation controls etc.)
so I've removed everything apart from a row of small 'finger friendly'
buttons along the bottom edge of the screen that select one of a set of
pre-programmed web pages to be displayed.

If I leave 'tabBrowser.enabled = true' then all the usual links etc. on the
displayed pages are active and if touched navigate away from the displayed
page, I want to prevent this being done, either accidentally or
intentionally. Also the scroll bar on the right edge is too narrow to be
operated with a finger, it only works reliably with a stylus, which is very
fiddly, so a pair of buttons at the bottom of the page labeled 'Page-Up' and
'Page-Down' would be the ideal solution. This is what I've failed to find a
way of doing with 'tabBrowser.enabled = false'.

Hope this helps explain what I'm trying to do and many thanks for your help.

Regards
Paul
