Hi All,

Was hoping someone could lend some help in regards to an issue I am having with Perspective. I have tabs that displays various data for my project. This data is grouped and can be expanded when clicked on. My issue is that for some screens the data will expand downwards beyond the viewable area of the screen while some other screens a scroll bar will appear that will allow me scroll down to view the expanded data. I can't figure out why this happens to some screens while others have the scroll bars.. I have attached a video to illustrate this issue. The first tab shows the items expanding w/o a scroll bar while the second shows it working properly. Any help would be appreciated!

Thanks

Check you view styles and look at 'overflow'. If they are set to 'hidden' that might be your problem.

Thanks for the reply. I tried playing around with that before but it didn't seem to do anything. They are currently set to "auto" but I tried the visible and scroll options but they didn't make any difference

You might have to set it on the component you are embedding your views in as well.

For example, I had to set this on the flex containers I was using to eliminate scroll bars.

Tabs? It looks more like the accordian component. Which is it?

In Perspective they are **views**. Getting the terminology right can be a big help for your readers.

So, reading between the lines, you are saying that you have two similar views but they behave differently but each behaves consistently? If so there is a difference somewhere. Check what the outer container types are and what their overflow settings are (if set).

Thanks Kyler, that was the issue I had neglected to set the overflow on one of the layers

Transistor, thanks for the comment, first time using Ignition and coming from a Rockwell environment for decades I keep forgetting the terminology.
