Hi,

Been working wth MS Support on this one and would have thought this to be a common use case scenario.

When running a flexible height gallery, if you turn on Auto Height for a column, which results in some rows increasing there size (which is perfect) BUT

the other columns vertical align doesn't work

(in my case I require them to be middle.

Interestingly enough, there was no responses to this question in my previous post.

Cheers

Todd

Imagine your control with the auto-height option turned on is called AutoHeightControlName and is allways the tallest control). You can create a label control (lblTallest) inside the gallery with AutoHeightControlName.Height set as its Height property. Then, use Value(lblTallest.Text) to get the height of each gallery row.

If AutoHeightControlName is not always the tallest control, use Max function in lblTallest.Text property including other control heights.

I've been having the same problem within containers, the autoheight works unless it's stretching to the size of the container. In this case the workaround is just to set align in container to centre but you would have expected it to respect the alignment in the text label for shorter text.

Hi @Tango ,

You could play with a conditional Y value for them based on the Height of the other label - this gets fairly close

OherLabel.Height/2 - Self.Height + (Parent.TemplatePadding*2)
