Hello,
In my Play/design area my screen looks like this but when I publish it and open the real deal I see a white space under the Select button:
I'm using a vertical container. Settings:
If anyone knows how I can get rid of this white space it would be most helpful as I think it doesn't look nice 😞
Hi @DJanssen ,
If you want the button always lay on the bottom, please use below settings for the container:
You need to set the Container Height to Parent.Height (which is the screen Height), and the Y to 0 (as you have), but also the Y of the button to
Parent.Height - Self.Height

Hi @v-jefferni, thank you for your response. I tried out your solution but I still see the white space:
My PublishScreen itself Height property:
If you have any suggestions please let me know 🙂
Hi @WarrenBelz , thank you for your response. I tried your solution by following your instructions but I still see the white space:
Container to Parent.Height:
Y of Container is 0:
And Button Y to the formula you provided:
The button does have the current visible property:
If(Len(varFolderPathCurrent) > 38, true, false)
As it should only be visible when navigating subfolders. Just mentioning it as it might be relevant
Removed duplicate message
The button setting result is not making a lot of sense to me presently - it should put the button at the bottom of the container. Try putting a border on the container to see if it is the issue rather than the button.
@WarrenBelz Good debugging tactic! Now it becomes clear that it is a container issue indeed.
As of now the Height property of the Vertical Container is:
Parent.Height
I am not a big user of responsive apps, however Parent.Height is what is recommended - you can try YourScreenName.Height (using the screen name), but this is the same thing. This article may be worth a read, but it seems to suggest what I have posted.
I suspect it's due to the App.Height. In other words, the App won't occupy all the heights of the screen. If you place a Lable on the screen out of the container, set Text to App.Height/Screen.Height/Container.Height, are the three numbers the same?
