Maximum field height?

I have a field that reports a formattedheight of 125396. I want to extend it to full height for use inside an enclosing scrolling group. But when I try to set the height to the formattedHeight, I get an error: Value is not a number. If I try to set its height in the property inspector, it rever

I can't write a test handler right now, but I'm thinking you might be able do something like this: repeat for each item i in the tabstops of the field: if the clickH > i and less than item i+1, that's your column The clickline gives you the row. On 3/29/20 11:04 PM, Terry Judd via use-live
