Scrollable Row is working?

Hello Thunkers !
I know this was debated alot of times, ive already searched the entire forum about it, but all topics are old or workarounds. So here i am.


As i see, Row container has now scrollable option. But whatever options i set to it, it doesnt work for me (put in a fresh new screen only a row, with absolute values, and so on).
What do i do more to work ? (dont need workaround, just want to know if that "scrollable"option works or not.)
Thank you for your time.

Can you explain more?
Scrollable is always working but you need the system to be aware when to scroll. For example, if you have a column / row with scrolling option set to true then you have to give this row / column a known size either by using absolute size or by relative (percentage %) but not to be computed by the system (fill container and fit contents should not be used in height or width).

Ok, ill explain more.
I created a new empty screen.
I created a Row with absolute sizes: Height=20; Width=200
Set Row scrollable to true
Put a label inside that row, then when screen opens, i cloned that label, lets say 10 times (enought not to fit in row).
What im trying to do is to workaround a mode to display a table-like data, every label will be a cell of the table, you got the ideea.
But my Row dont scroll…cant see all the labels created.
Maybe theres something about labels inside it ? (they are set to fit contents). They have to be absolute sizes too ? :thinking:

I made few tested and found out there is an issue with the row scrolling. It actually activates it as column.

The red color is a column containing the yellow one which is a row. Once I click the clone button, It shows the scroll bar in the wrong side.

These are the blocks I used to test with

I did the same.
Except that i used count with i from 1 to 10
and put label as join “label” and counter i :rofl:
And i put these clones directly in a “scrollable” row… as i said it already.
A row that is absolute sized and the only in a blank screen.

So, putting a scrolling column works…

Using a row instead of a column, doesnt work.

Hi
I created a project based in the trick in the Thunkable video tutorial and still effective.

Here is the link

Thank you very much for putting effort in trying to solve my issues everytime :hugs:
Already tried myself to use rotateZ axis of a row in a column, but as you see, writings will rotate aswell, and dont stay horizontally as i need it too. It works just fine with some blank, without text blocks items (just like in video).
Until @Thunkable_Staff will try to solve this issue about row`s scroll, just like column scroll (if you can set it to true, it supposed to work without workarounds, right ? :blush:), ill just stick to a landscape screen where my table will fit without in need of a horizontal scroll.

My latest issue is that trying to retrieve a “computed” width, it takes so much time (few seconds for every item from a variable length list of items ill try to calculate to get the highest value). Its really so much time consuming or is just my phone ? :thinking:

This shouldn’t be the case. Can you show an example or create a sample project that produce the effect and share the link?

You are right, in my example works like a charm. I used the same code in my main app, but theres something different there… Ill figure it out.
(found a way to wait until labels are dispalyed tho :blush:, and not a second more :blush:)

This should not be a problem to someone as intelligent as you are. You can easily rotate the label in the reverse way and you will have the label displayed properly in the scrolling row.

I changed my sample project to show the labels in the right way. Check and let me know.

Hello, prompt me when I open the sample project: Oops! The project you are looking for was either deleted or may not be public. Could you please send it to me again? I did it according to the video, but it didn’t work.
