Scroll Panel

Scroll long areas of content with dynamic layout and resizing for different devices and orientations.

This component provides a container that can have a group of other components displaying inside it.

They can be placed on the page together and scrolled as a list or with the optional scroll bar.

The scroll panel can be horizontal or vertical.

This screenshot shows a vertical scroll panel with its images set up to display within the scroll panel.

When the Project is viewed the scroll panel can be scrolled down and up with the scroll bar to display the sequence of images.

How to use the Scroll Panel Component

  • The Scroll Panel Component is found in the Layout section of the Component Selector. Insert it into your Project. By default the vertical scroll panel is checked so your scroll panel is designated to be vertical unless you uncheck the box.
  • Size the scroll panel to the dimensions that you want to view content in on the page. This could be horizontal or vertical.
  • If you want a scroll bar, it sits on the edge of the scroll panel, so any part of your content that sits outside the scroll bar will be cropped.
  • Add components to the scroll panel component.
  • When previewed the content can be scrolled by swiping, pulling or using the scroll bar.

Components can also be set to be visible/invisible on the page, using the ‘eye’ icon on this panel.

Position and Size

As long as measurements are maintained as percentages it deals automatically with dynamic layout and resizing for different devices and
orientations.

You can use millimeters to control aspects of size like width or height in order to create a group that will be well positioned across devices.
