[Gambas-user] Custom List Control

[Patrick Wright]

Alright, I have inherited a ScrollArea in my new control and have made sure to set is .ScrollBar property to Scroll.Vertical.  However, when I call my Add member function which creates a new instance of a TextLabel with Me as the parent, it does not cause the scroll bar to appear when the items overflow the current view. This is odd because I can replicate the same code in a simple form outside of the control and everything works correctly.

Do you know why this would be occurring?
