View Full Version : Left handed

I'm left handed and would like to be able to move the scrollbar for the Playlist and Library to the left hand side. I looked into creating a custom slider that would control the Playlist's and Library's windows position but didn't get very far. Does anyone know if this is even possible, and if not could support for this be added in a future version. (If you're right-handed and wonder why this is important, try using the stylus to scroll with your left hand and read the screen at the same time :D )

Thanks,
Brett

Is this something that Windows does natively (flipping scrollbars to other side)? It would make sense that it would.

I think it will only do it automatically for languages that are read from right-to-left.

Windows Forms controls appear to have a RightToLeft property, but that doesn't really help yet :(

Everything I have read has indicated it isn't possible to do this natively (I guess Bill is right-handed), and I dug quite a bit because I couldn't imagine they didn't have one left-handed person on the Windows Mobile team. Anyway, that is why I thought I would have to go the route of a custom slider, (like the track position bar) but I may have missed something.

Thanks,
Brett

Unfortunately you won't be able to use the default tree and list and have a scroll bar. You'll need to use a different way of viewing tracks (by using GAC+). The default CCF shows this when you go to library, and then clicking "covers".
