Hi,
I have just changed many of my list views to table views in order to take advantage of sorting/re-ording etc., but there seems to be some inconsistency with anchoring of the forms I have set all fields to left,top,right some forms work e.g. grow when the window is made bigger and some do not all settings are the same. It is becoming frustrating.
Ant Ideas ?

Well, ‘inconsistancy’ is hardly specific enough to help you.
What do you mean.
BTW, I (and I think many others) have never heard of such an event but when you say you anchor all corners for all elements I can imagine you will end up with rubbish. Anchoring two elements above or next to each other will certainly make the lef/top element overlap the right/bottom element.
In such a case you can disable the right anchor on the left element (no grow) or the left anchor on the right field.
Hello Marcel,
Many thanks for your reply, please note that I am only setting anchors “left,top,right” and not “all” as you pointed out. I have just performed a simple test using a new form and one field placed in the middle I set the anchors left, right, top and bottom checking each separately all work fine and as I would expect the field grows and shrinks with window size, I then moved the single field to the top left of the form changed to list view and tested, no problems the field grows etc., I then changed to table view and the field no longer anchors to the right as you would expect.
Is there anything I am missing?
Maybe. Could you set the horizontal scrollbar of the form to never and try again?
hmm, table view (apologies I missed that).
Table view behave differently, scrollbar settings are now important as well. When you want an element to grow you should disable scrollbars (horizontal). Vertical settings are limited (if I am right) to the height of the element as set in the properties.
Hello,
Ok, that fixed it!!
Many thanks I really appreciate your help Patrick
