I built a prototype that uses a page control to contain different lists of content inside a single item repeater. Unfortunately it seems that on the actual mobile devices (iPad, iPhone 4, Android Galaxy S) the scroll function doesn't work. Scroll does work when I try it in the embedded product browser and web browser, but not on a mobile device.
Ahhhh I see. That was easy. I was thinking very much like I do in Omnigraffle where I was adding those elements (adding scroll bars, etc) instead of it just appearing if that content area was shorter. Very nice and very powerful. Thanks so much, George.
Also posted another question over the weekend too but not sure if you guys saw it. Will repost.
Thanks!
hi, Charles.
Any control that typically contains repeating elements will automatically show scroll bars when you have content that exceeds content area. We don't have fake scrollbars, which you can easily draw. I recommend using a repeater control to simulate search results. It will save you a ton of time!
I have shown some of the controls that can be used for simulating search results and facets/filter.
For showing a scrollable page, just resize the canvas to encompass all your content. When previewing the prototype if the browser viewport is less than your content, the page will automatically show the browsers native scrollbars.
Is this what you were asking about?
In relation to scrolling, we have an app that is NOT a mobile application but it does have areas that scroll on a view. For instance, we have search results that scroll within a locked window size on screen. Very similar to an iframe, etc. Is there a way to simulate a scrolling area for an application that is NOT mobile? I've only seen it done on the mobile stuff so far.

Scrolling in general still works. We just hit a situation where scrolling does not work when added inside the pager :). It's something I hadn't tried when creating prototypes myself. We will definitely look into this! Thanks for reaching out. If you find any other issues, please don't hesitate to post on our forums.
Yep, your prototype does the exact same thing as mine. Page controller works great, but scrolling doesn't work on the mobile device.
Thanks for looking into this!
