Help with ROBLOX library application: CreateScrollingFrame()?
I just need some help with creating a very basic scrolling frame using the CreateScrollingFrame() API from ROBLOX's GUI library. Yes, I'm choosing this method oppose to inserting a ScrollingFrame object. I find that it works faster, doesn't glitch, and overall looks more genuine. I can't find anything on the wiki that explains it decently, and I've had trouble figuring it out on my own.
So without making this a long complicated question, this is all I've tried so far:
1 | local scroll_frame, scroll_up, scroll_down, scroll_func = rbxgui.CreateScrollingFrame() |
2 |
3 | scroll_frame.Size = UDim2.new(1,0,1,0) |
4 | scroll_down.Position = UDim2.new(1,-17,1,-17) |
5 | scroll_up.Position = UDim2.new(1,-17,0,0) |
6 |
7 | scroll_up.Parent = scroll_frame |
8 | scroll_down.Parent = scroll_frame |
9 | scroll_frame.Parent = chat_messages |
My actual problem is i can't figure out how to get the scrolling to work. If anybody knows how to use this, or has any source i could study, i would very much appreciate that. Thank you.

I don't think using the Roblox API from the Roblox Gui Library is needed anymore. Their's a ScrollingFrame object that is available.. Nickoakz 231 — 9y

As I've said, I'm specifically choosing to use this API for multiple reasons. CodingEvolution 490 — 9y

And regardless of whether It's popular or not, these APIs are still active and functioning. It just happens i can't find any useful information on how this particular one works CodingEvolution 490 — 9y

I didn't say anything was wrong with using a scrolling frame object. This is entirely based off personal preference, and my preference is to use the API. I find it faster, it doesn't glitch as much, and it overall looks more genuine. CodingEvolution 490 — 9y

Have you checked http://wiki.roblox.com/index.php?title=RbxGui_(Library) Nickoakz 231 — 9y

That page has no content. And yes, I've looked around in the wiki for it. Nothing gave a decent example. CodingEvolution 490 — 9y

The page does have content. The right-most paranthesis was blocked out of the hyperlink. I also don't see the need of using the API to create a scrolling frame because it creates an exact copy of the 'ScrollingFrame' instance. DigitalVeer 1473 — 9y

Actually, no. Turns out the API i was looking for was "CreateTrueScrollingFrame" which doesn't create a new ScrollingFrame instance. So, never mind about the question. CodingEvolution 490 — 9y
