I'm not sure if this has been answered before.  I seem to recall something similar was discussed in the past but I couldn't find it when searching.

I have a project where a form's height is higher than what will fit on the screen.  

It works fine in the EWB IDE, but when viewed in a browser the bottom half of the form/page is cut off and there's no way to view it unless I zoom out.  The browser's vertical scroll bar doesn't appear.

Does anyone know what I need to do to make sure the whole page can be viewed?

Thanks.

It might actually be a issue with Firefox because I resized the browser and the scroll bars suddenly appeared.

Actually with all my fiddling around trying to get it to work I had forgotten I added this line to the OnShow event:

  Application.Surface.Scrollbars := sbVertical;

So it was a combination of adding this line AND resizing the browser Window.

From the example applications:

procedure TMainForm.MainFormCreate(Sender: TObject);
begin
  Application.ViewPort.OverflowY:=otAuto;  <<<< Vertical scrollbar for the
browser
  with Application.Surface do
     begin
     Constraints.Min.Height:=(Self.Height+40);
     Background.Fill.Color:=clElevateFillGray;
     end;
end;

The sample application forms are set up to be centered
(Layout.Position=ptCenter), but that doesn't really matter.

That's an EWB bug - it isn't triggering a re-layout when first initialized,
which is preventing the scroll bars from appearing.  However, your solution
is in my previous reply.  IOW, don't enable the scrollbars on the
application surface if you want native browser scrollbars - use the
application viewport overflow properties instead.

Thanks Tim.  I added your code as suggested but something weird is happening.  If I move the mouse cursor away from the form and into the surface background area, I get a busy cursor and several blank information message dialogs.

Please email me the project that is doing this, and I'll take a look.  Most
likely there's something in an OnSize event handler that is causing
problems.
