I suppose someone is sure to ask why I can't use NSScrollView. I'm
doing a
kind of scrolling that isn't just shifting a view around. Some
members are
arranged in two rows, like so...
1 2 3
4 5 6
and when you scroll right, they change like this...
2 3 4
5 6 7
and so on.
Pardon my intrusiveness, but this sounds like a terrible UI. It's
highly nonstandard and nobody will expect it to behave this way. Why
can't you do things the normal way such that you start off with:
A B C
Z Y X
And when you scroll to the right you get:
B C D
Y X W
This has the dual advantage of allowing you to use NSScrollView and
not confusing your users.
These items are in a linear order, and it wouldn't be very useful to
see two disjoint subsequences of them. Anyway, it's a cross-platform
product, and the interface isn't really my decision.
