Values X/Y/Width/Height keeps losing when switching between Landscape and Portrait mode

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by Microsoft Employee

I put my button's X value as "button1.X + button1.Width" so it can adapt when switching to portrait mode. However, the entire formula seems to be lost as I switch from landscape to portrait, even if I saved the app before making the switch. This happens to X,Y,Width,Height values as well, as if they weren't saved at all. I had to keep re entering the same formula over and over.

    Are you saying you set a button's X value to button.X+button.Width?

    This will not work as you are referencing the X value to set the X value. It should throw an error saying this creates a circular reference.

     

    Can you please verify by running the app checker if you are getting this error?
