I currently am using Container for making Ignition GUI. It is used to contain long lists of signal. [attachment=0]signal2.png[/attachment] As the number of signal gets higher, the Container cannot show all of them anymore. Is there any way to have something like Vertical Scroll Bar in Ignition? ---

Use the template repeater or the template canvas. These can display runtime lists or layouts of templates and can have scroll bars. ---

Ah yes, I almost use that. But the thing is, the list contains something else than rather just one time item (not just signal). If you notice, There is a Close label in the top left of the Container used to close the Container when the user clicks on it. So, the Container contains more than just one template. I am wondering if there is any solution like Java’s JFrame or WinForm’s/WPF’s StackPanel in Ignition. If there isn’t any, I would also like to know if there is any workaround. Thanks! ---

I just notice that there is a new component in Ignition 7.8 Template Canvas [inductiveuniversity.com/video/template-canvas](https://inductiveuniversity.com/video/template-canvas) Seems like it is especially designed to solve this issue, isn’t it? Will try to figure out the component for a while! ---

Heh. It’s not new, and I suggested it precisely because you weren’t clear on what templates needed to be in the list. ---

Also you could put the label outside of the template repeater and only show it if the repeater is being shown. ---

@pturmel: ah yes, I forgot to mention that a Label is in the list (besides the signals). Thanks for the clarification. @JGJohnson: In the end, I choose to pick that solution. Not exactly what I want since, without work around, it will create boundary between the Close label and the Template Repeater. But that’s fine. What I originally make is a Label with a boundary having Text, “Show” and then as you click on it, the Label is hidden and is replaced with the Container with Label “Close” in the top most - creating the effect of “expanding” rather than “opening”. When I separate the Close Label from the Template Repeater, I would need to create a customized boundary to preserve the “expanding” effect. But yeah, in the end I choose the easier solution. Thanks all!
