I´m doing a bit GUI, this has a Form with a TMemo with the property ScrollBars set to ssVertical but I would like that the vertical scroll only shows when necessary, at present it's always shown. How can I disable when not necessary and enable when necessary?
Thanks you very much.
Unfortunately, TMemo's scrollbars do not work that way. If they are enbled then they are always displayed, regardless of the content. Switch to a TRichEdit instead.

I have a view controller that's fixed size (it can not be resized). This specific view controller is presented as a sheet in a window, I disabled the resizing by setting preferredContentSize. Since it can't be resized anymore, I left the view without any constraint. However, when I build the app, I got a lot of warnings that says :
Views without any layout constraints may clip their content or overlap other views.
I do know that if you don't add any constraints in a standard window it will clip when it is resized. However, resizing is disabled on my specific window so that I know it won't happen. Is there a way to silence this warning? There are a lot of views on this specific view controller and it's blocking other useful warnings that I may encounter in the issues navigator.
This view controller is presented through a "Sheet" segue.
I had a single warning saying the same thing.
Editor > Resolve Auto Layout Issues > Add Missing Constraints
worked for me.
If it doesn't for you, something else under "Resolve Auto Layout Issues" might work.
For me what worked was the reposition the elements: Drag them again into position and drag their height and width to the desired size again. Then click on "Resolve Auto Layout Issues" and click on "Reset to Suggested Constraints".
Since no one answered this, here is how I fixed it. For each view on the form change the Layout option from Automatic to "Translates Mask Into Contraints". If you want it anchored to the upper left corner, select the top an left red handles and leave the lower and right unchecked.
For me what worked was; select the last element that cause the warning
size inspector tab > layout > Autoresizing Mask
I am using CKeditor with autogrow plugin. But there is a problem when I am working with large text. I want to apply some style. So I need to scroll to the top of the page, click on the button and then scroll back to the bottom. This is very inconvenient.
Is there some plugin which can help to improve usability is such situations? Or I need to write it by myself?
I would limit the growth size to a maximum value with something like autoGrow_maxHeight : 800 - or whatever size works for you. I very much prefer the ckeditor content scrolling instead of the page scrolling.
Another option would be to separate the toolbar in a fixed element to make sure it always stays in sight. See http://nightly.ckeditor.com/7595/_samples/sharedspaces.html for an example; there is an editor there where the toolbar is statically visible and the editable area is apart from the toolbar.
I have a registration form on my layout grid, made out of a stackPanel. Textboxes are taking most of the screen (800px) along with a button. When user is positioned in one of the text boxes, keyboard covers almost half the screen and in order to access boxes below, they first have to click somewhere blank to remove the keyboard and then click another box. It isn't possible to scroll down.
I want to enable same behaviour like when editing name in contacts, but didn't manage yet. How to achieve this?
Try wrapping it into a ListBox or a ScrollViewer (probably easier), like so:
<ScrollViewer>
...
</ScrollViewer>
Also, check to make sure you don't have the same problem described here.
I'm not a WP7 developer but here's what I do in Android and iOS and you may get a hint of what to do.
I wrap my forms in a Scrollable View. This gives easy scrollable features to users without the need of anything else.
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:

(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.
I have a tab control in my main page. When I have it in the Design view in Visual Studio, everything looks perfect, the tab control is set to fill the entire page. However when I run the program, and I have it in a maximized browser window, the tab control is still the same size as it originally was. In other words, the tab control does not resize proportionally to the browser window resize.
So I was wondering if there was a way to change a setting on my tab control or maybe some code that would force the tab control to resize along with the browser window?

Ok, so after tinkering with this for the last couple days, I've finally found the answer. I feel like a rookie for not doing this sooner, but I got to looking at the title bar on the top of the page and noticed that it stretched across the screen when the browser window was maximized and when it was resized, the title bar shrunk to fit. So I looked at the properties of the title bar and saw that it's horizontal/vertical alignment was set to "stretch." I know, it's a rookie mistake, but it just never occurred to me that "stretch" was an option in the alignment property.
Long story short, change the horizontal alignment property to "stretch," vertical alignment property to "stretch," and then set the height property of the control to "auto" and the width property to "auto" and you've got yourself an auto-resized control.
