Hi,

 

Why cant I move things over to my right in my gallery? It is in a container. I have like 50 columns I want to put in.

    Hi @wonka1234 , 

     

    You cannot position controls at will inside a container (which is one of the reasons why I don't like them). However, try using a non-zero value in the Gap property of the container and see if the result is in line with your expectation.

    Hi @wonka1234😊

     

    Although you can create galleries that exceed the screen view width by using containers to delegate the scroll functionality to, you will not be able to drag & drop controls past that initial screen size point. In order to add additional columns to the right, you will have to use dynamic X values.

     

    Let's say your last control on the right side is Label1. Should you want to add another label (called Label2) to the right set that label's X property to:

     

    Label1.X + Label1.Width

     

    The next label would then use Label2.X + Label2.Width and so on... 

     

    Alternatively, you can use a Horizontal container within the gallery, add your labels within that container set the container Width to Parent.Width.

     

    If this solves your question, would you be so kind as to accept it as a solution & give it a thumbs up.

    Thanks!

    Hi @wonka1234,

     

    The code is currently written in the Width property, you should write it in the X property.
    Set your Width back to the original value.

    That should do the trick. 😊

     

    I hope this helps!

    @wonka1234 
    I am glad you found a solution. But there is a Gap property for the container, its even in the image you have attached in your original question.
