Using form inside container

Hi all,

 

How to use Form inside a container ? I found it when using form and while the screen is change to smaller, the control inside the form not wrap properly and if the height is smaller than the container, it has no vertical scroll to identify in this form there are other controls below it.

 

Something like this :

this is my app when I hit play, with maximize screen, but when I make it smaller, will become like below :

The 3rd control (Description) truncated, and the 4th warp / moved to next line, but there is actually no scroll in the right of the screen. If I use mouse to scroll down, then the combo box of Company shows as with other control above it move up.

 

The form setting it self I put as below:

Width = Parent.Width

Layoutminwidth = Parent.Width

 

And I did put Columns to be 4, should I have formula saying if the screen became small the column should be 2 ? but still the how to have the scroll ?

 

For the Height of this Form, I have a formula to make it small with enough of 1 line. This is set in its Height and LayoutMinHeight property. I guess that's why as it is shown only the label "company" over there with no text input because it is over the Height, but then again, it should show us scroll to indicate that, right ?

 

Kindly advice,

 

Thanks.

    Hi @Voltes

     

    Can you verify Horizontal and Vertical Overflow settings? Scroll or Hide?

    Hi @Voltes ,
     
    Firstly, the width and height of the form cannot exceed the width and height of the container.
    In addition, Please do not set the width and height of the controls in the form to dynamic values (Parent.Width...).
    Static value:

    Dynamic Value:

    Finally, when changing the width and height of the screen or manually modifying the width and height of the form, the width and height of the form will sometimes automatically change from a dynamic value to a static value (for example: parent.width -> 1366).
    So, I suggest you use a button to create some variables to save their width and height.
