Hi dbronk, I need the top vbox to scroll but not the bottom one. Assuming that your sdk is sufficiently similar to mine, the solution you gave makes them both scroll. You can achieve this effect very easily without the Canvas components in your solution: just set height="50%" and minHeight="0" for both inner VBoxes. Unless I'm missing something in your reply, the original problem remains unsolved. Adam
