Done and done. It's kinda kludgey, and perhaps I didn't choose the best
event to listen in on, but it works.

Yeah, you're caught in a no-win situation.  To get this right, we'd have
to visit the children twice, once to figure out we need scrollbars and
then again to give them final sizes.  We opted to go with the current
one-visit scheme for performance reasons.  There's probably some way you
can detect that the scrollbar is there, change the scrollpolicy and
force a relayout.

Yes, I've found that as one fix, but am not fond of it either... The
application I'm working on will be run on a wide range of monitor
resolutions, and it's likely that many users will not need the
scrollbars in order to see the content. For them, I don't want to
chop a bit of their screen real estate away in order to display an
unnecessary scrollbar. At the same time, if a user doesn't have the
vertical space, I'd like for flex to show the scrollbar.

The hack I'm currently using is to add extra padding to the right side
and disable horizontal scrolling. If the vertical bars show up, they
crop that padding. This is less than ideal, as at one point (either
before the bar is displayed or after) the padding will not be
consistent around the content. This also steals screen space from
people who don't need the bars, so it isn't ideal.

I just wish there was a way to get containers to subtract the
scrollbar's width from the width that they allow their children to
use. They're percentage-based, so it's obvious that the intention was
for them to take up as much (but no more) space available to them.

RE: [flexcoders] Re: container width > parent container's width when vertical scrollbar present

I spend a couple of minutes on this.  The rules are that, when
verticalScrollPolicy="auto" (default), the verticalScrollBar is not
factored into the measurements and overlaps content, otherwise it would
cause the scrollbar ripple.  The simplest change to remove the
horizontal scrollbar is to set verticalScrollPolicy="on" on the outer
Canvas.  That way the verticalScrollBar is factored in.  Because the
widths are preset in this example, it is safe to do that since you know
the verticalScrolLBar has to be on.

Thanks, I can understand that case as I've seen the scroll bars ripple
down before. The only part about this that feels like a bug is how no
matter how wide you make the outer container, it's always just a
little bit too small to fit its contents. Any help is greatly

RE: [flexcoders] Re: container width > parent container's width when vertical scrollbar present

[Alex Harui]

If you move to California, you'll find it everything is done over wine
and not beer :-)

 

If I didn't have to deal with backward compat, I would change this
behavior.  It was really important when you coded everything in MXML in
a text editor, but now with an IDE it seems less necessary, so, for the
nost part, I agree with you.

 

If you think you have a case that should work even given the current
'rules', file a bug so we can take a look.  There might be some edge
case.

I understand the "cascading scrollbars" problem, but I really have to
say that's a problem with your screens if you get this. It simply means
that you have to have contents that also resize. But how is that not the
case anyway if it's in a container of variable width? The contents of
any container of variable width must themselves be variable width or
they will have either scollbars / cut off when it's too small. 

The problem with the way flex has it implemented is that even if
everything within my container is anchored to sides or has a % width,
you'll still see a horizontal scrollbar when you add too much verrtical
content, and personally I call this a bug- the whole thing would have
rendered correctly if the container started out as X pixels wide and I
resized the browser, why should it not if the container is resized by
virtue of a scrollbar instead of my mouse hand?

I don't think it fair to inflict the current situation on everybody
simply to release people of having to design their forms for a
horizontally resizing container. There's always minWidth if you want a
"screw you if you shrink my container any smaller you get scrollbars"
effect.

I gotta move to California so we can sort stuff like this out over a few
beers :)

If you comb through the archives you'll see that this topic comes up
once a month.  It isn't really a bug and is what we consider to be the
lesser of two evils.  If we shrank content area when scrollbars
appeared, what would shrink a child container and cause it to show
scrollbars and all you'd see is a cascade of scrollbars.  So we don't,
and you get into this situation instead.  I'll try to solve your test
case this weekend.

Exactly... When vertical scrollbars are added to a container with a
percentage width, it should report the new width (without the bar) so
that its children resize properly.

I might be able to dig further on Friday or this weekend.  Note that
scrollPolicy affects whether the scrollbars are factored into width, and
viewMetrics includes the scrollbars if they exist.
