Scrollable container for Container Controls

MikeB

Problem

The container control provides a great mechanism for creating the equivalent of a listbox/datagrid row that is much more complex than what a listbox row can currently be. Unfortunately there is no way to use them that way at the current time.

Proposed Solution

Add a ScrollBox control that will allow container controls to be added to it (stacked verticlly) to function as a scrollable (vertical, horizontal) dynamically populated control for hosting multiple copies of the same Container Control.
OR
Allow a ListBox control to have a new cell type that can hold Container Controls added to it representing the rows since it is already scrollable.
Example Workflow

Alternatives Considered

Who Would This Help?

Anyone needing a scrollable set of information where a Container Control is the perfect mechanism for representing each unit of data.

This has been a fun problem to solve 🙂

I've added a new ScrollBox UI control that functions like a ContainerControl but has a dedicated edit mode so you can layout controls within it on a window. It automatically handles scroll bar behaviour and even handles adding new controls at runtime. There is a new example demo project bundled with Studio.

Will be out in the next release: https://feedback.objo.dev/feature/315
