Tomasz,
Thank you for confirming that it is possible for AFL to do this and
giving me the starting point for how to do this.
It is a big challenge for me, since I am unfamiliar with every aspect
involved in the process, and have no need to learn all the things
involved other than to create one or two simple DLLs to save and
restore the scroll position. It looks like a straight forward process
from the link you provided.
I will do whatever it takes to get this done on my own or with the
help of others on this board --PM me if you can help.
This DLL will become part of the Flexible Params functions which I
will make freely available to all.
This DLL will only be called in direct response to a user click action
on a parameter in the Parameters Window that requests the "Reset all"
button to be clicked manually or preferably by AutoIt, so there will
be no conflict between the user and the machine with regard to the
scroll positioning.
Of course suggestion #380 (with my additional comments) would
eliminate the need for this DLL and using AutoIt. However,
workarounds are better than nothing and certainly a tribute to you for
providing the means to use them with the AmiBroker program.
Best regards,
Dennis
