rich text box cut off at end of form in canvas

Posted on by gstlouis

I have two forms on a canvas. The second form is has a lot of rich text and drop downs etc.

I was able to add these text boxes and design them, but when I saved them to look at them they would cut off and scrolling would stop, so I cannot see my last few items on the form in live, and when I go back to edit I can no longer see them either.

I've tried like Parent.Height and Parent.Height+100 on the form but I can't see it. I guess I'm reaching the limit of the canvas height? Why is my scrolling not letting my hit the bottom of my inputs?

Re: rich text box cut off at end of form in canvas

Hi @FLMike
Thank you for your comments. I do believe that I had the display in custom, and then was told to change the display back to 16:9.
So does that mean my last form that is cut off is not fixable? Cause that would really suck. And if I change the display settings to anything else, it completely screws up all the card inputs positions, font size, like everything just gets messed up to default or strange settings. I do not know what to do...

update:
The only way I got this working with the 2 forms was doing height = Parent.Width/2 for both, the last form now can show to the bottom, but the first form now does not. I had to add a custom card that pushed the scrolling more and I can see both.

Maybe try make the width variable to the screen it is using. Set the container to Parent.Width.

Hello, it would be good to see more of the form and in edit mode.

But forms do not auto-scroll. So if any of your controls are in a spot where the form will not fit(due to the screen being a different size than when you developed it), it will simply be cut off at some point.

Also, are these things JUST on the screen or are they in a container? As the same goes for the containers, unless yuou have scrolling enabled and they support it.

Cheers
