Hi John,

I am kinda stuck here
I am trying to use a scroller and update the closed in field with variable text.
By script I want to add or delete lines of text but the height of the scroller is not updated.
Can you give a clue on how to do this?

P.S. I did this before with just plain code in another stack and got it to work just fine.

greetings,

William

Hi, William. Here's an example stack. The text field inside the scroller has 2 custom properties (text1 and text2) with text samples of different lengths. The 2 buttons change the field contents to the different text samples and optionally reset the scroller back to the top. Take a look at the script of the buttons for more details. Hopefully this will help get you moving again - let me know if anything doesn't work the way you expect or if you need any more info

(I included a "Fonts" folder in 'Standalone Settings => Copy Files' with the mobguicons fonts for the check box)

Hi John,

Your sample stack made my day.
Thank you!

Greetings,

William
