iOS Question Scrollview, adding multiple labels

[cooperlegend]

I have copied my code from b4a for taking eight name labels (defined in the designer as four labels on top of four other labels) and moving them into a scrollview so the list of eight names scrolls with a smaller area than needed for eight.

I converted RemoveView to RemoveViewFromParent

       lblName1.RemoveViewFromParent
        lblName2.RemoveViewFromParent
        lblName3.RemoveViewFromParent
        lblName4.RemoveViewFromParent
        lblName5.RemoveViewFromParent
        lblName6.RemoveViewFromParent
        lblName7.RemoveViewFromParent
        lblName8.RemoveViewFromParent
      
        scrollNames.Panel.AddView(lblName1, lblName1.Left, lblName1.Top - scrollNames.Top, lblName1.Width, lblName1.Height)
        scrollNames.Panel.AddView(lblName2, lblName2.Left, lblName2.Top - scrollNames.Top, lblName2.Width, lblName2.Height)
        scrollNames.Panel.AddView(lblName3, lblName3.Left, lblName3.Top - scrollNames.Top, lblName3.Width, lblName3.Height)
        scrollNames.Panel.AddView(lblName4, lblName4.Left, lblName4.Top - scrollNames.Top, lblName4.Width, lblName4.Height)
        scrollNames.Panel.AddView(lblName5, lblName5.Left, lblName5.Top - scrollNames.Top + scrollNames.Height, lblName5.Width, lblName5.Height)
        scrollNames.Panel.AddView(lblName6, lblName6.Left, lblName6.Top - scrollNames.Top + scrollNames.Height, lblName6.Width, lblName6.Height)
        scrollNames.Panel.AddView(lblName7, lblName7.Left, lblName7.Top - scrollNames.Top + scrollNames.Height, lblName7.Width, lblName7.Height)
        scrollNames.Panel.AddView(lblName8, lblName8.Left, lblName8.Top - scrollNames.Top + scrollNames.Height, lblName8.Width, lblName8.Height)

ContentHeight is defined as twice scrollNames.Height in the designer.

In debug I can see the labels being created in the correct places, but once the screen has drawn I get to see just four labels in the centre of the scrollView ?!?!?

Any ideas?

Can you upload your project (File - Export as zip)?

Hi Erel,

I would rather not share my whole project, too much company sensitive code

I could perhaps email under NDA.

It is better if you create a new project with only the ScrollView and the labels.

 

[cooperlegend]

Thanks, OK, I have knocked together a demo. This is has the same sort of issue as above, this one does not show any of the names...

 

[Erel]

You set the alpha level of the ScrollView to 0. This means that the ScrollView with all of its internal views are not visible.

Thanks Erel,

Sorry about that, silly error, I now attach the same with the alpha set to 1. You will now see the real issue that I started the forum for

Any ideas why only four labels are shown on this one?

Sorry but I cannot further help you with this. You can check CustomListView which is based on ScrollView and allows you to add any number of views.

 

[Erel]

Make sure that Handle Resize Event is set to False in the designer if you are changing the position of views added with the designer.

Problem seems to be when I addview...

Even doing this below, never places it anywhere but around two lines down from the top ?

scrollStarts.Panel.AddView(lblStart1, 0, 0, 100, 100)

Is this a bug?

p.s. Other than a few small issues, B4i is working great for me, many thanks for bringing this out

 

[cooperlegend]

That was it

Thanks again
