Attributes

scrollBars attribute enables configuring scroll bars. There are following possible values:

  • vertical - enables vertical scrolling, by default.

  • horizontal - enables horizontal scrolling.

  • both - enables scrolling in both directions

  • none - forbids scrolling in any direction.

If the size of the components inside the container exceeds the size of the container, the corresponding scrollbar will appear automatically.

Content Size

  • contentHeight - sets content height.

  • contentWidth - sets content width.

  • contentMaxWidth - sets maximum width for content. The width of the container’s contents can’t get any wider, even if the screen size allows it.

  • contentMinWidth - sets minimum width for content.

    <scrollBox height="150px"
           width="100%"
           contentMinWidth="300px">
    <label value="Date"/>
    <dateField/>
    <label value="TextField"/>
    <textField/>
    <label value="TextArea"/>
    <textArea height="130px"/>
    <hbox spacing="true">
        <button caption="Button"/>
        <button caption="Button"/>
    </hbox>
</scrollBox>
    scroll box min width

  • contentMinHeight - sets minimum height for content.

    <scrollBox height="100%"
           width="300px"
           contentMinHeight="300px">
    <label value="Date"/>
    <dateField/>
    <label value="TextField"/>
    <textField/>
    <label value="TextArea"/>
    <textArea height="130px"/>
    <hbox spacing="true">
        <button caption="Button"/>
        <button caption="Button"/>
    </hbox>
</scrollBox>
    scroll box min height

The ScrollBox content can reduce its size down to the values set in the contentMinWidth or contentMinHeight attributes.

It is recommended to set the content width and height. Otherwise, the components placed in the scrollBox should have a fixed size or default size. Do not set the size of nested components to height="100%" or width="100%" if the content width and height are not set.
