Overview
What is bigScroller?
bigScroller is a scrollbar subclass that provides a much greater scrolling range than is avialable with regular REALbasic scrollbars.
In depth
A closer look at bigScroller
The problem with this is that with really large values pageStep can become 0 so you have to check for this and set it to say 1.
This also means that the pageStep is then larger than you want. If you can think up a better algorithm then please let me know!
This also means that the scrollbar thumb doesnt look at all proportional when the view Size is only slightly smaller than the bounds size (its way too small), so what I do is use my regular algorithm for cases when the scrollbar maximum is within its normal range and only switch to big scroller for maximums over 32567. At this point the scrollbar thumb is going to be at its minimum size anyway
