FM - Can you Scroll in a Portal Just by Hovering?

If your pointer device - mouse, trackball, trackpad - has a scroll wheel or scroll option, you should be able to scroll simply by using that option. I use a Logitech trackball with a scroll wheel and it will scroll whatever portal is beneath. However, on my laptop, I can't use a two-finger swipe scroll unless the portal is active, moving instead the entire window.

If having a scroll wheel is not an option, consider creating "Go To" button of some sort within the portal and attaching your GTRR script to only that button, leaving the rest of the portal row free. I sometimes use a green arrow button with a tooltip for this purpose although you can obviously use whatever color scheme or icon you like.

Regarding your ability to hover scroll a portal, are you on an Apple related product?  In contrast, I'm in a PC environment and the mouse scroller does not move the portal while hovering over it; it moves the FM window.  The only way I can scroll a portal listing is if I click in a field in the portal row. 

On your second comment about GTRR, I would go that way, but since we don't want people editing data in our portal rows, we've just made them into a GTRR button.  An alternative is that I could add a field in the portal row with a down arrow icon that would represent allowing one to scroll.  Once clicked, the portal row is entered and would thus allow scrolling.  Seems a bit of work for little effect when one could just clicking on the down arrow next to the portal.  :)

Yes, I know the latter, but what do you mean by "Are you using a pointer device with a scroll wheel on it to test?"  What pointer device?  (I'm using a mouse with a scroll wheel on it that has a mouse pointer on the screen.)

Yes, that's what I meant. A pointer device means any connected device - mouse, trackball, but also assistive devices - that controls the pointer on the screen.

So, that's my answer - hover scrolling of a portal works on a Mac and not a PC and because that's a feature of Windows, I can't effect it by any Filemaker scripting or portal settings, etc.

Ah. Very aware of the setting, just didn't realize that it affected the hovering scroll.

It does in Windows.  Do you mind checking to see if it does in a Apple environment, meaning portal scrolls with "when scrolling" but does not if you have "Always" which shows the scrolling bar on the far right?  We don't have Apple within this office.  Thanks.
