vertical scrollbar not showing

[Adam]

What do I have to do to get the vertical scrollbar showing? My XAML looks like this:

<UserControl x:Class="Phoenix.Modules.Common.KB.Silverlight.Views.ElementRendererView"
    xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
    xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
    xmlns:Controls="clr-namespace:Telerik.Windows.Controls;assembly=Telerik.Windows.Controls" >
    <StackPanel x:Name="LayoutRoot" Background="White">
        <Controls:RadHtmlPlaceholder  x:Name="_RadHtmlPlaceHolder" HtmlSource="{Binding HtmlSource}"></Controls:RadHtmlPlaceholder>
    </StackPanel>
</UserControl>


HtmlSource is set to an html string. It displays but there is no scrollbar.

Thanks,

Adam

Hello Adam ,

To avoid your issue you should set the overflow mode to auto like this:

(myHtmlPlaceholder.HtmlPresenter.Children[0] as HtmlElement).SetStyleAttribute("overflow", "auto");

Let me know if this helps.

Thanks, how would I accomplish this using the HtmlSource binding as I am?

Hi Adam ,

All you have to do is use the code snippet I sent you in the code-behind of your application. You can, for example, call it when the page is loaded - just remember to substitute "myHtmlPlaceholder" with the name of your RadHtmlPlaceholder instance. You don't have to change anything else.

Sorry for being dense but if i past the code snippit into my silverlight c# code behind

(myRadPlaceHolder.HtmlPresenter.Children[0] as HtmlElement).SetStyleAttribute("overflow", "auto");

The "HtmlElement" section is not recognised. Am i missing a using statement??

Ok I was missing a "using System.Windows.Browser;"  statement.

But this does not fix the no scroll bar problem for radplaceholders using the htmlsource property binding to a html string

Hello steve,

We are not aware of such proble, Can you please try your sample when the HtmlSource is not binded, but set from the code behind. Is your content still clipped and no scrolling?
