By default, in the ModalBottomSheetLayout in Jetpack Compose, when you try to scroll its content, instead of scrolling, the bottom sheet expands itself. Is there any way I can change this behavior and limit the max height of the bottom sheet? I want to be able to scroll the content and not expand the sheet.
I tried looking into the source code of ModalBottomSheet and it looks like it always gets the touch events first and only passes it down to the content when it has fully utilised them. I am not sure how to reverse this behavior, so, the content should always get the scroll events and only if it cannot consume it, it should go to the bottom sheet.

I am creating an event screen like Outlook's. The issue I am coming across is that the autocompletebox I am using from Syncfusion doesn't automatically grow in height as more tokens are added.
The current workflow is exactly like outlooks. When the control is clicked on, it brings you to another page where you can select tokens. On return, the selected items populate the autocomplete circled below.
The approach I currently took is to have a listview. Scrolling is disabled for the listview since the page resides in a scrollview and nested scrollviews aren't recommended for xamarin. The height of the listview is dependent on the number of selecteditems.
I am wondering if there's another approach or control that would be more suited for my situation? Or if someone has come across a autocomplete control where the height will grow.

I wish to make a toolbar for my app that will contain some simple buttons, each with a single monochromatic icon. Here is an example of some toolbar buttons similar to I'm trying to achieve, from Mail's compose window:
Notice these buttons have a consistent size, inner padding, padding, and shading. This is a pretty consistent style across macOS, present in Mail, Safari, Finder, etc. This leads me to suspect there's a standardized UI component for creating such buttons.
If I use a segmented control, each button looks correct, with each icon being correctly padded:
Now I would like to add individual buttons that match the style.
Attempt 1
My first attempt was to add a "Push Button" (NSButton) to the toolbar:
This resulted in a wide button that's a bit too short, and not lined up with the segmented control:
Attempt 2
My second attempt was to use a segmented control, with only 1 segment.
This resulted in a button that's the right shape, size, etc., but it was off center relative to its label.
Naturally, I can manually adjust the button to match the goal, but I feel like I'm missing something. What's the proper way to create these standard buttons?
This is actually quite easy to do and you were close already.
You can use NSButton for that. Note that it has different styles (defined in NSButton.BezelStyle) to choose from. The default one is the one to use inside windows and modals. But for toolbars, to match the style of segmented controls and search bars, you can choose the style .texturedRounded.
You can also set the style via Interface Builder. Note that you have to select the button itself, not the toolbar item around it.
To get the correct size, you seem to set the icon within the toolbar item, not the button itself.
Here is my result:
I'm trying to learn auto layout so I can set up a moderately complicated display the way I want. I'm starting with a simple version. At least I thought it was simple.
I have a content view containing a NSScrollView, and a zoom slider. The scroll view is, of course, just a window into a larger 'canvas' on which the user can do things.
I'd like the scroll view to be as big as the window allows, with the slider underneath.
I've tried many things none of which work, in some cases when I resize the window smaller, the scroll view goes on up over the window's top bar, obscuring the title and the red yellow, green, dots.. this is just a grumble, I won't attempt to describe how I got it.
I'm working with Visual Format Language.
The immediate problem: I can only get the thing to work at all if I put in a hard size constraint on the scroll view.
I've got constraints like #"V:|[ScrollView]-[ZoomSlider(==35)]-| and
#"|-20#1000-[ScrollView]-|"
With these, nothing shows at all, until I put a hard size on the scroll view:
For example, #"V:[ScrollView(>=70#20)]" and #"[ScrollView(>=140#20)]" results in a little tiny scroll view (as expected) just above the slider.
Window is resizable, all right.
Is there a simple way to make the scroll view resize to occupy the most space possible when I resize the window? The only way I can think of off hand is to produce metrics for the scroll view based on window size, and use a notification to change the constraints when the window size changes. There should be something simpler!
THanks.ee
OOps. Thought I knew the answer until I started to write it.
AT least here is a partial explanation of things that were causing me problems.
You can't add constraints that position or size the Window's content view. But apparently you can mess them up by deleting them programatically. Some of my problems were solved by getting rid of
[self.myContentView setTranslatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints:NO];
and
[self.myContentView removeConstraints:self.myContentView.constraints];
This left me with a lot of conflicting constraints. I fixed this be eliminating all content window constraints that I could in IB, then by marking the rest as placeholders.
I've got a ways to go before I understand how to use auto layout, but doing it in code is easier (for me) than doing it with IB
In my WP8 application I use LongListMultiSelector and I would like to save it's scroll position when application is closed or tombstoned and then restore it when application is opened again. I will also need to scroll it programmatically to a specified item or specified position with animation when application is active.
The problem is that so far I can't find any methods on LongListMultiSelector that will allow me to scroll it with or without animation to a specified item or position. I also can't find methods that will allow me to get a list of all current items so I could choose of them to which one to scroll.
It can't be that scrolling is unmanageable on LongListMultiSelector so I'd like to get your advice on how I can get to this scroll functionality.
LongListSelector is kind of a "smart" controls. It means it has very complex behaviour but if you need to change it - better you shouldn't...
You have two options:
Write your own behavior on top of the content of the LongListMultiSelector. It contains primitives:ScrollBox control inside it.
Use standard LongListSelector and implement native ScrollTo method and your own multiselection. Multiselection is a simple task, ScrollTo is quite tricky since you basically can't scroll to position, only to item.
I've been struggling for weeks trying to crack this nut so I'm not sure if it's impossible, or if it's my lack of coding chops... or both. I'm not a programmer and I'm a newbie to Dojo Toolkit.
I have a site using the BorderContainer layout. I'm trying to create an effect where I can use a button to open and close a dropdown type box that will contain controls. I need this dropdown to be hidden on page load, and then open when you click the button.
My problem is that when I open the dropdown, it pushes the content pane below it off the bottom of the browser window. I need the lower ContentPane to stay fit within the remaining space of the browser window when the dropdown opens. Additionally, I want the dropdown to sit outside of the scrollable container for the content below it, which is why I have it set up to sit outside a nested BorderContainer below it.
I've created a simplified version of the code to demonstrate my challenge (see link below). If you load the page you can see the center ContentPane scrolls the content. But, if you then click on the button, a dropdown div expands above the content. Then when you scroll, you'll notice that you can't see the full pane because it's in no-man's-land below the bottom of the browser window. I assume that because the div is set to display:none on load, it's size is not accounted for on page load. Then, when you open it by pressing the button, it's size is additive and the pane below doesn't know how to resize or account for the new element.
I've tried using the visibility attribute, but that leaves a gap for the div when it's still closed. I've tinkered with some code that controls the height that shows promise, but each of my dropdown boxes will be different sizes so I'd prefer that the height be set to "auto" rather than a specified pixel size.
Does anyone have any idea how I can accomplish this so that the lower pane will fit in the space without pushing off the screen?
Here's a sample of the page:
http://equium.com/scaffold.html
(I had some problems trying to insert the full HTML page here as a code sample so if that's a preferable way to handle it, and someone can let me know the best way to embed all of that code, I'd appreciate it.)
Thanks is advance, I'd really apprecaite anyone's feedback.
You might want to take a look at dojox.layout.ExpandoPane (though be warned I think it has only worked properly for top and left regions for a while).
Also, I'd suggest simplifying/altering your layout a bit. See example here:
http://jsfiddle.net/taFzv/
(It'd probably need some tweaking to get exactly what you want.)
The real issue you're having is probably that the BorderContainer has no idea that parts of the view resized. ExpandoPane takes care of that by telling the BorderContainer to re-layout after its animation completes.
It works under IE8.0. When dropdown box open, just keep pressing mouse from page and drag to bottom, you could see the content was pushed to out of page. It looks the browser could not detect it and could not add it to "scroll bar" account.
I would suggest taking out all BorderContainers except your top level one, the one with mainPage as the id.
Place your {stuff here} div into the mainPage BorderContainer, after the ContentPane with the Close/Open button. Make sure you make it dojotype dijit.layout.ContentPane, set up layoutpriority, and set region to top. Set the height to 0/x when clicking the Open/Close button, instead of setting display.
Try your page again. If that doesn't fix it, you probably need, a call to layout, resize, or both to indicate to the BorderContainer that it needs to evaluate all its children and size the "center" pane properly. Something like dijit.byId("mainPage").layout(); Do this any time someone presses the Close/Open button, after you have changed the height of any BorderContainer children.
Maybe the dijit.form.DropDownButton would fit your needs. When click the button a tooltip is displayed that can be filled with any content you want. Just as you specified, the dropdown tooltip is only displayed when you click the button, and it doesn't mess with the underlying layout at all. The tooltip sits "on top" of the page.
