Form height property limit

[Shinsen]

Hi,

I have a form and simple search (textbox and command button)

The output of this search is kind of a tree (attachment) made of control buttons created in seperate form . It works preety well but I faced the problem when too many buttons need to be created and I reached the limit of the height property of the form.

Any idea how to solve or bypass it ? If possible I would like to stay with control buttons idea.

Thanks in advance

Hi and welcome

That's an unusual approach!
You could reduce the button height or reduce the vertical spacing between them
Forms can be about 55cm high so that's a lot of buttons before you hit the limit!

Yeah I know its not usual but I can program on click event of every of those buttons and many other things (on hover f.e.)
200 buttons need to be created and I reach the limit around 60 so reducing spacing or button hight won't do the trick. I tried to follow the creation in the next forms but at the end I need to show it combined in one main form with one scrollbar and this is something I dont know how to deal with.

I have had some people ask questions on working with Hierarchical data and Tree Views, which often involves using recursion. If not familiar with recursion this is where a procedure repeatedly calls itself until hitting a condition where it is told to stop. This is used often where you have to...
