When you scroll a view, all the content of that view is scrolled, including children views. If you add the scroll bar to the list view, and then want to scroll the list view with the scroll bar that is inside the list view, how is that supposed to work? The scrollbar will be moved/scrolled away under your mouse! Scrollbars are always sibling views of the views they scroll. Normally, you put a list view into a BScroll*View*. The BScrollView is configured however you want, like to show only a vertical scrollbar. It will take care of all the layout. If you follow the BeBook link on your Desktop and look up BListView in the Interface Kit, I am almost 100% sure there is example code for how to embed the listview into a BScrollView. If you want to know how to do the equivalent code for the new layout API, please just look into the code of one of Haiku's preflets. I already pointed you at Sounds. > Also, how do I use the Tracker add-on?

Right-click into a folder, for example src/preferences and pick "Text Search" from the Add-ons menu in the context menu. Then type BListView into the text field. Just double click an entry in the resulting list and it will open in Pe. Best regards, -Stephan
