How to make Extension window show scrollbars

I am working on a Gantt Chart extension object. I want the window it is displayed in to show scrollbars if the size of the chart is bigger than the 'window' provided by the extension object container. Is that possible?

If you are using this.Element.innerHTML and you assign a div to whatever object you're making, you can set the div style to "overflow:auto;". For example:

this.Element.innerHTML = "<div id=\"gantt\" style=\"overflow:auto; height:" + this.GetHeight() + "px;width:" + this.GetWidth() + "px;\"></div>";

This will show a scroll bar if and when the object in the div "gantt" is larger than the qlikview window (the size of the qlikview window is given by this.GetHeight() and this.GetWidth()).

Thanks once again Nicole. You are the extensions Guru!

I will try this (and the other suggestion regarding the qvpp files) as soon as I get the time.
