I recently had to implement autoscrolling functionality for FlexGanttFX and thought that my solution might be useful for others. You find the basic concepts of it in the listing below. The main idea is that a background thread is used to adjust the pixel location of the virtual flow node used by the list view. The thread starts when a drag over is detected “close” to the top or bottom edges. “Close” is defined by a proximity variable.
This code can obviously be improved by using a property for the proximity value and the types “Task” and “Service” for the threading work.
