I would like to make a (very) large form, containing many controls.
I have no problems, if I "only" use the default form size, which does
not expand the windows screen.

However, If I increase the Form height (for instance to 1200), I
cannot - in the design phase - scroll down to the part which is placed
below my windows screen. If I run the program, I can see that the size
(heigth) changes as I "ordered".

I have tried page up/down, cursor arrows and mouse scrol, but I am
confined to what can be seen on the windows screen.

I have also tried to set the minheight.

Can you guys help me ?

Regards Gert.

you got it backwards you do not increase the forms size you simple
enable the autoscroll property and place your control at the 1200
position inside the form. Then the form will show you the scrollbars
an you will be able to scroll to see more controls.

Hi Taaz

Thank you very much ! 

If I do, what you suggest, I can see the control , when I run the
program.

However, I still cannot see the control i design mode.
There is now a scrollbar, but when I scroll down (in design mode),
there is no control to be seen.

Is there a way to fix that too ?

Kind Regards

I have no idea why it does not show correctly it sounds like a bug to
me but I can't check at the moment. I'll have to check later.

Hi Tazz

Do your Lazarus exibit the same lack of a control in the design phase
?

There's a scrollbar in design phase, but it doesn't do anything, locks
position to 0.

yeah it seams like a case of wrong use of design check, it should be
checked and corrected. I do not have the time to do it now but I'll
try make some next week.
