Hi,

I am trying to have two edit forms in 1 screen. How can I have both but one collapse on the click of a button?

As you can see they both are small, I want them to be full size. And the top one collapse upon click. But when its open it shifts editform1_1 down. Can this be done? right now its two small forms with a huge scroll area. I want them to keep the original size of the full screen view if possible. Any tips would be appreciated.

Hi @wonka1234 ,

If you want the entire screen to be scrollable, then you can consider adding a scrollable screen, but it does not support inserting forms, you can consider using controls such as input combined with patch submission records.

I recommend using overlapping forms to control their visibility through their visible property.

Best Regards,

Bof

Hard code you heights on both to the size you want when they both show. Set a variable for toggling visibility of Form1 with OnVisable of the Screen to have UpdateContext({varForm1Visable:true}) and put that varForm1Visable in Visable property of top Form1.

If your height of form2 is 500 then something like this for Height on Form2.

Then take the height of the bottom form and do like : If( Form1.Visable, 500, 500 + (Form2.Y - Form1.Y))

That will take the Form2 and use the top location Y and grow it based on the distance from Form2.Y.

Then for the show / hide of Form1 you could just have one button/icon etc. that does UpdateContext({varForm1Visable: !varForm1Visable}) this will toggle it on / off and resize Form2 when toggled.
