Actually the Laszlo Systems home page shows that behavior. There are scroll bars inside the application, and once you reach the minimum app size the scrollbars will show.

I build that app, but the approach we took there was not to make the canvas larger, but to place a view inside the canvas which is larger than the canvas - with a minimum width and height. You can use that approach as work-around for now.

This is something we'd love to do, but we haven't implemented the feature yet. See http://jira.openlaszlo.org/jira/browse/LPP-6535 - and vote it up!

If you were to write a DHTML application and change the CSS in the default HTML wrapper to allow page overflow, you'd get what you want. It's trickier to do this in flash, because the plugin's size needs to change.

Hi There, My application may increase its height. I like the canvas to adapt to my application's height. Below is a very simple application. Initially, the canvas height is the height of my browser. Since the view is only 500 pixels, it is ok initially. But if we press the button to increase the view size to 2000 pixels, the canvas won't increase its size accordingly. I tried to change canvas height but it won't work. I am wondering whether there is a way to make canvas adaptive to the size of the application. The second question is, if the canvas can be made adaptive to its application size, if I wrap the application into an HTML, will it still work?
Thanks!

 1 <canvas height="2000">
2 <view name="the_view" x="600" width="500" height="500" bgcolor="blue"/>
 3       4     <button x="100" y="0" text="Increase">
 5         <handler name="onclick">
 6             the_view.setAttribute("height", "2000");
 7         </handler>
 8     </button>
 9 </canvas>
