Quicker Pagination of the timeline

Filed under: ceTwit, winmo — vkoser @ 10:43 am April 8, 2008

I had a few requests over the past week for quicker pagination via the screen vs using the hardware directional pad.  I went down the path of iPhone like scrolling and got the selected item moving pretty well but it turns out that the ListBoxEx I’m using from OpenCFNet has a bug where you cant programmatically scroll it by setting TopItem.

I had to back out that code for now and came up with a couple buttons that you can pop up on the screen for quick pagination to older items. I remapped the touch area on the screen to bring up the context menu if you touch the avatar or the left 48 pixels of the timeline if your not displaying avatars, and touching in the message area will bring up the pagination buttons.

I’m working in some code right now to hide the buttons if you don’t interact with them for 7 seconds.  Otherwise they auto hide when you reach the end or start of the timeline.
