Scroll View w/o scroll bars

Unity Engine
1

I’m working on an iPhone app and am attempting to do something very similar to how the iPhone handles the general launcher windows (flicking left or right to move the screen.) I’m thinking of using a Scroll View for this, but had a few questions.

Is it possible to use a flick motion in the view instead of the scrollbars, and is it possible to get rid of said scrollbars? Alternatively, is there another function already provided to do what I’m looking for? A key element I need is exact placement of items within the view, which as far as I know, rules out using GUILayout.

I appreciate any suggestions.

After fiddling around a little more (and digging through the somewhat lacking API docs) I was able to come to a simple solution.

The scrollbar can be turned off in the GUISkin, specifically VerticalScrollbar and VerticalScrollbarThumb.

Flicking for movement is just attaching an update script listening for mouse inputs. Really quite simple, but I guess that’s a Friday for you.

Hey xenogas,

I am planning to do a similar flicking scroll. Turning off the scroll bars in GUISkin is a good call, and easy to do.
Could you explain how you did the mouse input update for the flicking motion?

Thanks.
