Height setting field missing for TextArea bs4 (Properties Window)

1

Hi, I know I can set this in styles in the properties window (css) but has this option been removed for any reason that I need to know about?
Thanks
Will.

The TextArea is expandable, either adding more text or by the user dragging it to a larger size. If you want to limit its size, put it in a Container.

Thanks George, Containers :+1:

I’m having trouble with the BSTextarea. I put it in a container and I still have the textarea go way off the bottom of the screen. Any ideas?

and I’m getting this when I click on the textarea…

bsFunctions.min.js:17 Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'disabled' of null
    at HTMLDivElement.get (bsFunctions.min.js:17)
    at HTMLDocument.handlers (jquery3.js:2)
    at HTMLDocument.dispatch (jquery3.js:2)
    at HTMLDocument.v.handle (jquery3.js:2)

How can I reproduce the error?

I think the CSS overflow style might be able to help your TextArea issue:

I was putting some html formatted text into the textarea’s.innerhtml and not the .value. If I put straight text into the .value it works fine. If I set the .innerHTML then it overflows (Your link helped me stop that) but also brings up that error when I click on the textarea.

Should I be able to set innerhtml only? Or is my result expected?

Just trying to get something a bit prettier and also editable. Too much to ask of the BStextarea?

Again - how can I reproduce the error? Can you make it happen in a test project with just a TextArea?

I have the same problem only with a Listgroup(bs4). I have placed it within the container as you suggested and still when I fill the listgroup () using:

     For i=1 To totnum
           Listgroup1.addItem(title(i)) 
       Next

When the list exceeds the size of the container it just keeps filling and runs off the bottom of the page.
Any Ideas or solutions? I could zip up my project if you wish.

Tip : If you’re pasting code, html or config files, surround the code with triple back ticks (```), before the first line and after the last one. It will be formatted properly.

Yes, I had put the three back ticks. Anyway, You mentioned above about the overflow property, but I don’t see that property. How do I set the overflow property? Thank you, Paul

11

(I actually edited your post to change ‘’’ to ```)

You can add additional CSS rules in the style property of the control.

12

Thank you so much. That solved the overflow. We learn new tricks every day!!

Sub Main()
  Textarea1.innerHTML = "test"
End Sub

This code in a project with only Textarea1 on the screen gives me errors when I click on the Textarea.

Thanks - I’m seeing something funny here too. We’re on it.

If there any chance you’re adding code in BASIC to a form which has its language property set to JavaScript?

If this isn’t the case, can you send me the project?

Definitely basic. Sent project to you.
