Check if a label's scrollbar is visible or if the text field isn't long enough to make it appear

Hello,

I have a gallery with a label in it. The gallery is connected to a SharePoint list text field, which is displayed in the aforementioned label. The label's overflow is set to scroll. Each gallery item's text field has different lengths of text, so some labels will have a scrollbar visible, and some will not because the text is not overflowing.

Is there a way to tell if the scrollbar is visible or not? I've thought of using the length of the line height in combination with the length of the text field and font size to do some calculations, but not sure if there's an easier way.

I appreciate any help with this!

Hi @JChouinard2016 - What is your objective? Are you trying to avoid scroll bars?

If so, you can use a flexible height gallery and then enable the 'Auto height' property in the Label control.

Hope this helps

Hi AmDev,

I have a button layered above the label in the bottom right corner of it. When the scroll bar is visible, the button blocks part of the scroll bar. Knowing if the scrollbar is visible or not, I could use an If statement to move the button slightly to the left so it isn't blocking the scrollbar.
