It was said in [this thread](https://community.st.com/t5/stm32-mcus-touchgfx-and-gui/change-scrollwheel-s-content-dynamicaly/m-p/636119#M36039) 4 years ago that there may be a more dynamic implementation of the Scroll Wheel container. Is that something that's still on the radar?

I have one problem on TOUCH GFX 4.23.1 and Cube.MX 6.10.0.

I created a STM32F746G_DISCO project with GFX, and generate codes without any modifying.
Next, open STM32F746G_DISCO.ioc with Cube.MX, found following warning.

I searched new X-CUBE-TOUCHGFX package, but latest version in Cube.MX is 4.23.0.

How can I clear this waring?

Scalable image does not work in external flash section. The image is not shown on TFT. When i select the Internal flash section, the image is shown on TFT. Or please share us if there are any solution about this problem. 

Please fix this problem.

Here the exact same problem. Downloaded the latest version of CubeMx (6.10) and cannot find TouchGFX 4.23.1
How can this be solved?

[DaijiroYamazaki]

I found a way to clear this warning, are following steps correct?

1. Create project with Cube.MX, and add middleware X-CUBE-TOUCHGFX (4.23.0)
2. Open TouchGFX/ApplicationTemplate.touchgfx.part with Touch GFX 4.23.1 Designer

Source codes in Middlewares/ST/touchgfx/frameworks/... have following header, and including TouchGFX 4.23.1 is completed with successfuly.

However, when re-opening .ioc files with Cube.MX 6.10.0, I had same warning and the icon of X-CUBE-TOUCHGFX is 'can not edit' state:

Hello

Check the initial message of this thread:

Attention : If X-CUBE-TOUCHGFX 4.23.1 is not available in STM32CubeMX software yet, please navigate to "Help > Manage embedded software packages > STMicroelectronics > X-CUBE-TOUCHGFX". Then click on "From Local ..." and navigate to the x-cube-touchgfx-4-23-1.zip file to install the new pack inside STM32CubeMX.

So you must manually install the latest TouchGFX version to the CubeMX. Also here discussed about same problem

hope this helps.

Hi JTP,

Thank you for your reply.
I tried your suggestion, and installed GFX 4.23.1 to Cube.MX successfully.

Thanks!!
