Hi Sonar Systems,
Thank you so much for your quick reply.
I did check out the abovementioned link and implemented the code for ScrollView.
But I am not getting anything on the screen at all.

Here is the code:

i added this on the top of the .cpp file:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
#include "extensions/cocos-ext.h"
#include "ui/CocosGUI.h"

USING_NS_CC_EXT;
USING_NS_CC;
using namespace ui;
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

//create menu
//--------------------------------------------------
menu = Menu::create();
menu->setPosition(Point(0, 0));
//this->addChild(menu);
    
bn_play = MenuItemImage::create("bn_prev.png", "bn_prev.png",CC_CALLBACK_0(SelectionScene::bn_play_tapped, this));
bn_play->setPosition(bn_play->getBoundingBox().size.width/1.5, visibleSize.height - bn_play->getBoundingBox().size.height/1.5);
menu->addChild(bn_play);    

bn_more = MenuItemImage::create("bn_prev.png", "bn_prev.png",CC_CALLBACK_0(SelectionScene::bn_more_tapped, this));
bn_more->setPosition(bn_more->getBoundingBox().size.width/1.5, visibleSize.height - bn_more->getBoundingBox().size.height/1.5);
menu->addChild(bn_more);
//--------------------------------------------------

//create scrollView
//--------------------------------------------------
ui::ScrollView *scrollView = ui::ScrollView::create();
scrollView->setDirection(SCROLLVIEW_DIR_HORIZONTAL);
scrollView->setContentSize(Size(800.0, 600.0));
scrollView->setTouchEnabled(true);
scrollView->setBounceEnabled(true);

//set bg image for scrollView
scrollView->setBackGroundImage("mainMenu/bg_mainMenu.png");

//total scroll view size
scrollView->setInnerContainerSize(Size(800, 600));

scrollView->setAnchorPoint(Point(0.5, 0.5));
scrollView->addChild(menu);
scrollView->addChild(bg);

this->addChild(scrollView);
//--------------------------------------------------

so when i run the build, i simply get a black screen.
the setBackGroundImage does not show any image on screen.
am i doing something wrong?

and i am not able to use this line (because the code does not recognize Vec2) 
scrollView->setAnchorPoint( Vec2( 0.5, 0.5 ) );

how big is your main menu image?

its a bg image..
so as you said in your c++ version tutorials..
it will either be:
2272 x 1536
1136 x 768
568 x 384

so in short, its the bg image that will cover up the screen

Do you get any errors/warnings in the console saying it couldn’t load any of the images?

can i send you a sample source code for the project?
will you be able to check that and try to figure out whats wrong?

We are very busy so it’s not very practicle but im sure we can figure it out on here

sure..
please do try and help me out here if possible
thanks

Try swiping on the screen to see if you can see anything coming in from the sides.

i tried swiping on the screen, but nothing happens.
and also wanted to ask you, we do have to add the scrollView to the scene like this right?

this->addChild(scrollView); 

yes

See if this helps http://discuss.cocos2d-x.org/t/problems-with-uiscrollview-green-background-and-no-clipping/15860/9

Hi,
I already checked the abovementioned link before, but it didnt help in any way.
I am not able to implement a scrollView yet.

I know you guys are busy, but if and when you have time, can you please make a scrollView tutorial for C++ version of cocos2d-x?
You have a tutorial for the java version, so I would request you to make a video tutorial for C++ also if possible.

Thank you for your time.
:)    

Have you watched the JS version and compared as that may help.

Dude it won’t work if you don’t add the scrollview node to your layer..

this->addChild(scrollViewPointer);

ok i will try it out..
thanks for your suggestion..
are you into cocos2d-x as well?
i would like to connect with you as i did with sonar systems
:)
