skin for scrollBar

I want to put a scrollbar with a skin, but i couldn't find any method to assign a skin to scrollbar. I am designing my gui from the guiEditor tool in irrlicht, so How can i assign a skin to scrollbar from guiEditor or xml or directly from c++ compiler?

you can try setting up a texture material to it.

see how that works.

let me know if that is even possible for gui elements.

See Klasker's textured IGUISkin in the code snippets forum

Be aware that a scrollbar consists of three buttons and a colored rectangle ...

When drawing any gui element, the skin is passed a pointer to it. So it's easy to check to see if a button (getType) is a sub-element (isSubElement) and it's parent is a scrollbar, you can then override the default behaviour and draw it in whatever way you like.
