Is there auto scrolling in iBook?

Back in the day I had a palm pilot with an ereader.  It had autscrolling which was the best feature in ebooks.  I haven't found this in any of the iBooks or kindle readers yet.   I'm surprised.

Yup - it seems to be a glaring omission.
I fondly remember scrolling books on my Tungsten with eReader.
The good news is that eReader has an app!
The bad news is that it is unusably jagged.
Maybe only 4 or 5 fps?
I made this video when they launched it a few years a ago - and it is still broken.

If I find an answer, will let you know.

  • Is there a way to auto scroll in ibooks

    Is there a way to auto scrool in iBooks? If not, is there an app or other reader that does?  Auto scrolling would be a great feature for furture updates in case anybody from Apple is reading this.
    Thanks

  • How do I use auto scroll?

    Is there auto scroll built in? I WANT IT! :-)

  • Text - Auto Scroll Function

    Does my iPad have an  Auto Scroll   for Safari?
    Is there a "hidden" feature that I can use for reading a text with Safari?
    An automatic scroll (activated by an command) would be a comfortable function.
    I don´t want to use an App.
    Thanks

    Tap and slide up to scroll. Tap and flick up to move faster.
    There is no way I know off to have the screen automatically scroll.
    The iPad has many security features to prevent malware attacks. One of these is called Sandboxing. This keeps each app in its place and prevents apps from altering the system resources or other apps. So no other app will provide the auto scroll functionality to Safari.

  • Auto-scrolling of list view in Finder windows sometimes doesn't work

    I've noticed a minor bug in 10.4 that doesn't seem to show up in 10.3.9, and I thought I'd comment on it here because it's mildly annoying, and I'm not sure that anyone at Apple is aware of the issue.
    My Pictures folder is pretty large -- I have over 6,000 items in it, some of which are themselves folders. I've got this folder set to list view. My typical usage pattern is to open a Finder window for my Pictures folder, start typing the first few characters of a file name, and then search from there. In 10.4.3 and later (up to and including 10.4.6 as of this writing), if the file in question is outside the viewport of the Finder window, the thumb on the scrollbar will jump to the correct location, but the actual viewport won't scroll to match; therefore, the file that gets highlighted isn't visible.
    The work-around is to manually scroll the contents of the window so that I'm "closer" to the file I'm looking for; alternately, I can type characters to get the ball rolling, and then hit the up or down arrow key a couple times (once won't do the trick) which will force the viewport to jump to the correct scroll location. Using this second method, I then have to move the selection back to the file, which is annoying since it's forcing me to use extra keystrokes.
    Interestingly enough, if I am careful and click on the scrollbar thumb without moving it too much (after typing the first few characters of the filename I'm looking for), the viewport will usually "snap to" the appropriate position. This suggests that the logic to auto-scroll the contents of a Finder window got subtly broken between Panther and Tiger. It just seems weird to me that the scrollbar thumb would jump without the viewport following suit automatically.
    This wasn't a problem in 10.3.9. I realize that we're being encouraged to use Spotlight and other search features, but since my pictures directory is already an alphabetic list view of files, why should I be forced to do a Spotlight search when I know what it is I'm after?
    Dual 2.0 GHz G5   Mac OS X (10.4.6)  

    I've been having the same problem (though I haven't looked at the console yet to verify the same exact error).
    There doesn't seem to be a situation that I can identify to cause the problem (i.e. waking from sleep mode), so it's difficult to reproduce consistently. The error seems to happen randomly. Last night I was getting the error every time I sent a single message. So I'd create and send a message, and then the next message I'd try to create or reply to, I couldn't. I'd have to quit Mail and start it again to gain functionality.
    When I do have the problem where the compose window isn't created when replying, I also can not start a new message, note, or forward a message. Basically, no new windows can pop up besides the windows that are already there in Mail. When I quit mail, every window I tried to create by replying, making a new message, or forwarding, appears in the draft folder, just before the program closes. Then, the next time I open Mail all the windows appear that I tried to create, with no text in them. Very strange. Looks like this poster has a similar problem.

    I'm curious if this is a bug, or something our machines just can't handle? I see that we all have very similarly spec'd PowerBooks.

  • How to get Auto scroll bar in a JSP?

    Hi Gurus,
    I have created a custom jsp page in a B2B application. How to get the auto scroll bar when page is exceeded than it can display?
    Is there any specific tag or div which is to be included to get this scroll bar?
    Thanks a lot in advance!!
    Regards,
    Lakshman.

    Hi Lakshman,
    You can include it in stylsheet and then use that class in your <body> or "div"  tag.
    the CSS command is
    overflow:auto;
    you can use like
    <body style="overflow: auto;"> or -- div style="overflow: auto;" 
    You can declare class in ".css" file
    #c1
    .c1
    <body id="c1>> or <div id="c1">
    <body class="c1>> or <div class="c1">
    You can use either "class" or "id" by adding it to "CSS" file and the use it to any JSP file or by direct aditing "Style" attirbute in tag.
    so when your content is longer then your screen browser will display scroll bar automatically.
    I hope this will help you.
    Thanks and Regards.

  • My auto-scroll 3rd button does not work in FireFox 3.6. It worked in previous FF versions.

    I have updated FireFox. My auto-scroll 3rd button now does not work in this version, 3.6 I have updated my mouse and checked the TOOLS "Use auto-scroll"... still it does not work.
    I need my equipment to work. PLEASE FIX

    I hate to sound like a broken record, DONE THAT ALREADY. _ _ _
    I've ALSO learned to reboot after an uninstall then manually delete any residue in said uninstalled program. I've also gone as far as REGISTER searching for program residue and deleting that WITH reboot of coarse to be sure nothing has gone wrong. _ _ _ NEXT suggestion? I suggest FireFox fix there software. _ _ _ BY-THE-WAY,... I have also gone through my mouses buttton choices for my #5 button. Everything works but the "Auto-Scroll". One tab down/up/right/left works, one page down/up/left/right works. _ _ _ I used recently tried and successfully used the Auto-Scroll in Netscape, Opera, My Browser, Ace Browser, Chrome, and 2 others that escape my memory. _ _ _ PLEASE READ and understand this. >>> It's FireFox's software that is stopping this, not my mouse or PC.

  • Why does the history/library window auto-scroll away from the previous point in the library?

    When in Firefox 23.0's history/library window when I am browsing it will auto-scroll to the top of "Today" page making it frustrating and difficult to browse. I do not seem to recall this being the case before. I disabled "auto-scroll" in options and this has not remedied the problem.

    Hello,
    Try disabling graphics hardware acceleration. Since this feature was added to Firefox, it has gradually improved, but there still are a few glitches.
    You might need to restart Firefox in order for this to take effect, so save all work first (e.g., mail you are composing, online documents you're editing, etc.).
    Then perform these steps:
    *Click the orange Firefox button at the top left, then select the "Options" button, or, if there is no Firefox button at the top, go to Tools > Options.
    *In the Firefox options window click the ''Advanced'' tab, then select "General".
    *In the settings list, you should find the ''Use hardware acceleration when available'' checkbox. Uncheck this checkbox.
    *Now, restart Firefox and see if the problems persist.
    Additionally, please check for updates for your graphics driver by following the steps mentioned in the following Knowledge base articles:
    * [[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]]
    * [[Upgrade your graphics drivers to use hardware acceleration and WebGL]]
    Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!
    Thank you.

  • How scroll through a list of items in list box with code in C# winforms to create auto scrolling

    I am new to programming and I have been tasked to create a form to display information in list box controls on a big screen. The list boxes have to show all data by auto scrolling through all data row by row then start again at the top once it has displayed
    all data. Is there a way to do this automatically in code using a timer? I look all over the web and have not found any way to do this in win win forms. Is it possible?
    Thanks 

    Here's the c# code
    using System;
    using System.Collections.Generic;
    using System.ComponentModel;
    using System.Data;
    using System.Drawing;
    using System.Text;
    using System.Windows.Forms;
    namespace WindowsApplication13
    public partial class Form1 : Form
    System.Timers.Timer timer = new System.Timers.Timer();
    int position = 0;
    public delegate void delegateUpdateListbox();
    public Form1()
    InitializeComponent();
    private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
    timer.Interval = 1000;
    timer.Enabled = true;
    timer.Elapsed += new System.Timers.ElapsedEventHandler(timer_Elapsed);
    void timer_Elapsed(object sender, System.Timers.ElapsedEventArgs e)
    position += 1;
    if (position == listBox1.Items.Count)
    position = 0;
    delegateUpdateListbox deleg = new delegateUpdateListbox(updateListbox);
    this.Invoke(deleg);
    void updateListbox()
    listBox1.SelectedIndex = position;
    As long as the listbox's SelectionMode is set to "One" (the default), you don't have to do anything to un-select the previous item.
    For your secnd question, the code inside the timer checks whether the position is the same as the length of the contents of the listbox and resets its value to zero, so that the selection will go back to the first item in the list.

  • Console.app not auto-scrolling when "Now" selected... why?

    Ever since updating to Mavericks, Console.app isn't auto-scrolling (like tail), even when the "Now" button is clicked in the lower right-hand corner.
    What the hay?

    Thanks, but didn't work. Looking in the Console.app directory there isn't much in there. Most worrying is that the Contents/MacOS directory is empty. It looks like other apps have the actual executable in this directory.
    Can anyone confirm:
    a) It should have a Console executable
    b) How do I fix this up?

  • SimpleChat auto-scrolling problems

    I'm using the default SimpleChat pod (from LCCS SDK 1.2.5) and am experiencing two different problems when the chat window has enough chat messages that it has to scroll:
    This always happens: When I try to manually scroll to the bottom of the chat history, the scroll bar won't stay all the way down. Then one of the following things happens:
    1) If a new message comes in, it's not shown in the chat history window. I have to scroll manually because the scroll bar is not "stuck" to the bottom.
    2) If a new message comes in, the chat message window auto-scrolls to the top of the history (the oldest messages), also leaving the most recent message at the bottom (having to scroll to see it).
    Any advice?

    Hi,
    There was a bug on our side which was fixed recently and would be updated in the next drop of the SDK.
    I am giving you the fix. You need to make the following change in your SimpleChat.as and link your project to the source files instead of swc. Once the next drop of SDK comes in, you can continue back to using your swc.
    You need to update the onHistoryScroll function  in SimpleChat with the one below
              protected function onHistoryScroll(p_evt:ScrollEvent):void
                   if ( p_evt.detail == ScrollEventDetail.THUMB_TRACK ) {
                        _detachedScrolling.reset();
                        _detachedScrolling.start();
    Don't forget to do      import mx.events.ScrollEventDetail; on the top else you will get compile errors.
    Hope this fixes your problem
    Thanks
    Regards

  • JScrollPane Auto Scrolling for Teleprompter

    I am working on a piece of software to scroll text for a teleprompter. I have a class that scrolls the text that is in a JEditorPane nested in a JScrollPane. Here is the class that scrolls the text:
    package teleprompter;
    import javax.swing.JScrollPane;
    public class Scroll extends Thread
        JScrollPane scrlMain;
        public Scroll(JScrollPane scrlMain)
            this.scrlMain = scrlMain;
        public void run()
            int iPos = scrlMain.getVerticalScrollBar().getValue();
            for (;;)
                iPos += 5;
                scrlMain.getVerticalScrollBar().setValue(iPos);
    }My problem is that it is not a consistent, smooth scroll so that someone can read it. It is real jumpy, sometimes it will jump an entire page. For now, the speed of the scroll can be changed by making the 5 in "iPos += 5" a higher number.
    Is there a better way to do an auto scroll that is not so inconsistent and jumpy that anyone can think of?

    One of the characteristics of a teleprompter (at least in most Western languages) is that new text is always likely to appear at the bottom so, rather than worrying about scrolling, why not either:
    (a) Set the scroll value to 100% and add new lines to the end as and when required, or
    (b) Maintain the text array yourself and simply display it in a fixed area.
    It seems to me that the same technique could also be combined with text animation to display a line at a time.
    However, as I say, I'm no GUI expert, so feel free to laugh...
