Request: horizontal scroll panel

[nunodonato]

Vertical scroll panels are the most common.
But to allow more flexibility and options (especially because we can use both portrait and landscape modes), an horizontal scroll panel would be must welcomed too :)

I've added this to the v0.9.4 milestone. I'm thinking about adding a data-bb-direction attribute with values vertical | horizontal | both where vertical would be the default if nothing was specified.

    <div data-bb-type="scroll-panel" data-bb-direction="horizontal">

   </div>

Just tried now to place a very wide div inside a scrollpanel and scrolling works as expected.
Mixing both is what breaks things :)
If the wide div is before a list, then the panel will scroll horizontally but not vertically. If the list comes first, then it will scroll vertically but not horizontally.

Is this still expected to be a part of 0.9.4?

It has been re-assigned to the 0.9.5 milestone.. We were having issues with iScroll for this feature but have now moved to a built in scrolling capability.

On BB10 phones I believe you "should" be able to create a scrolling panel and define it's width and height and you should get both horizontal and vertical scrolling depending on how you layout your content in the scroll panel.

I haven't tested it yet, but I don't see why it wouldn't work without even declaring the "horizontal" direction. The only changes that will be necessary are possible modifications to the PlayBook implementation.

Ok... so I have an update for this one. I believe the primary use case that was desired for a horizontal scrolling panel was to essentially create a carousel of images.

I have just checked in some changes to the grid layout that should provide this user experience on BB10 devices.

Take a look to see if this covers the desired use cases for a horizontally scrolling scroll panel.. If it is, I'll consider this request satisfied
