We are building a multipane C# winform application with three panes. The
anchored left pane will be the menu, center pane data entry, and right pane
advisory information. The customer has requested there be only ONE scrollbar
per page. IOW, if the menu needs to scroll, it will use the single scrollbar
anchored on the right and all three panes will scroll. Same with the data
pane... meaning if it needs to scroll the menu pane will scroll out of site.
I am wondering if anyone has doen something like this and what your thoughts
are? Most applications I have seen, such as Microsoft Outlook, use separate
scroll bars per pane for this.
I would like thoughts on this approach (pro and con), including guestimatees
on level of difficulty.
