Scrollbars as options from the properties panel
Just added what feels like my 40th scrollbar in the last four hours, and realized something: shouldn't these be available as options from the properties panel? Right now, adding a scrollbar to a component means dropping it onto the canvas, dragging it into position, stretching it to fit, and then remembering to group it with the parent component so they reposition as a pair.
That's a lot of busywork for adding a simple, often needed component feature. It'd be far better to have a "Scrollbars" pulldown on the properties panel, with the choices None (default), Vertical, Horizontal, Both. The property would be available for the container components that logically benefit: Accordion, Browser Window, Canvas, Data Grid, Dialog, List, Tab Navigator, Text Area, Tree Pane, and Vertical Tabs.
The existing, stand-alone scrollbars would remain for flexibility, but for bread-and-butter work, it would be great to just toggle these as needed from the property panel.
Thanks much.

Inappropriate?I LOVE this idea. Let me add it to the TODO, it should be fairly quick, so I'll put it towards the top of the list.
Michael, you are a star.

Inappropriate?... and what is with a horizontal scrollbar? ;-)
-
Well, my assumption is that horizontal scrollbars are a lot less common than vertical scrollbars, so I thought that a shortcut wasn't needed for them (you can still add them from the libarary). What UI controls do you think would greatly benefit from having a horizontal scrollbar shortcut added to them? -
Inappropriate?Hi, i think every control with the vertical scrollbar shortcut shout also have a shortcut for the horizontal scrollbar.
