Good morning everyone!

Wraparound Feature for Questions – How to implement a wraparound feature so that everyone can view the entire question without any truncation.

Collapsing Left Column – How to add a feature to collapse the left column when a Add(+) button is clicked. (Also, then how to go back if someone want to find old record or go to old history.)

How can I fix this. Would appreciate insights/solutions.

Wraparound Feature and Collapsing

Hi

So what you do is something like this.

In the Screen OnVisible (and you could use a context variable im being lazy)

Set(_LeftContainerWidth, 200);

This would be the start of the width of that container, assuming you know what it is, either hard code it or make is an Environment Variable or something else.

Put it in the Width property of your Container on the left.

Then when someone clicks +

Set(_LeftContainerWidth, 0);

Now its closed

then in your other container change the X property to be

If(_LeftContainerWidth = 0, 0, _LeftContainerWidth + 5) // so it will either have its X be 0 or X = Width of Left Container + 5

Then in the Width for your right container

If(_LeftContainerWidth = 0, Parent.Width, ItsNormalWidth);

Now for the controls IN the container do the same thing for X and Width

If(_LeftContainerWidth = 0, Parent.Width, ItsNormalWidth);

If(_LeftContainerWidth = 0, 0, _LeftContainerWidth + 5) // and change the 5 to whatever you want for that control

in their widths.

and Parent.Width, may need to be Template.Width or Screen depending on how you have it.

Now since you said when they click + there must be a Save/Update button

So, click that and then do

Set(_LeftContainerWidth, 200) and bingo it all resets.
