Trying to run demo of SQLite_DB_2D and I get this error message:

Parsing code. Error
Error parsing program.
Error description: Unknown type: scrollview2d
Are you missing a library reference?
Occurred on line: 78
Dim scvList As ScrollView2D

I assume it is missing ScrollView library, but I cannot seem to find it anywhere. any suggestions ?

Thanks, but you need to realize that finding an appropriate library to download for novice is VERY INCONVENIENT (and should be changed in the future).
While the example lists only some methods, many libraries are listed under new (upgraded names) and as such are very hard to locate. Some libraries are posted with examples and some examples are posted with no libraries,... all this makes a mess.

I've seen another post advising opening b4a files in a notepad, but I could not figure out libraries used from there (besides it is really POOR approach).
It really should not be so hard to implement some CMS system and use pre-made components, templates etc. to handle tasks like organizing your website.

Search feature works great for searching forum posts but not for library. It still requires some time to sort out unnecessary links. WIKI search in most cases does not work at all!

The easiest way (from MY user standpoint) would be to finr a library DOCs and either at the top or the bottom locate links for DLoad. Attaching library downloads and examples to the posts makes clutter.

As far as referencing libraries in the source, something should be done. Usually the Project file should hold a structured information on what libraries and files are used. This Project file should be either open with the plain editor or with some sort of utility which allows to edit entries. I've use many other tools that used this method in the past. Referencing libraries in the right panel is OK, but if the library is missing there is no indicator what is an exact library name/FileName and/or location.
