Designer issues when using scrollView

[Penko]

Hello!

I am creating my Activity design in one layout and I am trying to load it into a scrollView, which is the only view in another Layout.

I am attaching the screenshots with the two situations:
badView - a screenshot in the case when I am loading the layout into the ScrollView panel
goodView - when I directly load the Layout for the Activity.

The other two screenshots are too big for the forum, so they can be found here:

Here is how I load the layout:

The way it works: (without ScrollView)

Activity.LoadLayout("layTesting_def")[/CODE}

The way it doesn't (when loaded to ScrollView)
[CODE]Activity.LoadLayout("layTesting_newdef")  
 scrollViewMain.Panel.LoadLayout("layTesting_def")

Apart from the fact my cyan labels are missing, take a look at the Hint button. If I load the Layout directly, it's positioned correctly. But within the scrollView, it occupies the entire width and I believe the other two buttons are below.

Here are some facts to note:

• All the positioning is handled via the Designer Script, no activity code handles that
• 90% of the logic is in layTests_def which holds all the views
• layTests_newdef is a Layout having only the scrollView. The designer script ensures the scrollView is expanded for the entire activity

Some others: I am using 100%x and 100%y intensively. I know that these items are relative to the parent. According to my logic:

• with ScrollView, 100%x will return the panel width
• without ScrollView, it returns the Activity width

That's okay, but didn't we make ScrollView's width 100%x? Then they should be identical and that wouldn't be a problem.

Also, I believe designer scripts execute whenever they are called and there is no problem that I am loading this Layout to a panel, rather than using it for the base Activity?

I am also attaching the two layouts. No Activity code is necessary as I included it above and it's just three lines.

The problem is that the width of the ScrollView inner panel is set to -1. This tells the layout system to fill the parent available space.

For now you can set the panel width before loading the layout it should fix this issue.

I confirm it fixed the issue. It was my fault, I thought that the Panel's width is equal to the ScrollView's width.
