Scrolling while dragging

[pavlelekic]

Hello,
I have a case where I'm dragging elements to an area with the scrollbar. I noticed that when I drag close to the bottom (or top) I am able to scroll down (or up) and then release the dragged element exactly where I want it. However, the problem is that it's very hard to point to that area close to the bottom/top to trigger the scrolling, it's just a few pixels of height. Is there a way to customize this? Can I make this threshold larger?

Thanks.

The scrollbar is not directly related to this issue.

You are describing a behavior when dragging elements in a scrollable area, not the scrollbar's behavior itself.

This is a typical situation where:

• You are dragging some element
• Bring it close to the edge of the content area
• Want the area to automatically scroll
• But the current scrolling area is too narrow

The problem relates to the general mechanism of scrolling during dragging, not to the specific scrollbar implementation.

If you're interested in the technical detail - this is usually solved through:

• HTML5 Drag and Drop API
• Drag-n-drop libraries
• Custom mouse movement handling logic
