Scrollbar, why it`s not working

Question

My purpose is to display for example 20 record, but just only few of them are visible in the window, rest are out of a window so i need scrollbar.But why, when part of a block is out of a window the srollbar is not working, the "bar"(i mean this part of a scrollbar which is scrolling) is as long as whole scrollbar.I have my block`s "show scrollbar" property to on.
But when I put my block on stack canvas and set canvas`s "show scrollbar" property to on it`s working just like I want.Is it possible to do the same but on content canvas.

Hi,
Let me start by saying that a data block scroll bar is not the same as an stacked canvas scroll bar, the work a little bit different.
On a data block, the property "Number of records displayed" is going to show the items on the data block as many times as the number entered eg: 10; if you combine this with the property "Show scroll bar" set to "Yes", the scrollbar is going to work once the query has retrieved more records then the number of records displayed.
If your query only returns 5 records, the scrollbar is disabled.
On the other hand you use an Stacked canvas, when the objects you need to display won't fit on screen.
The stacked canvas viewport determines the area that is visible on the content canvas, and to be able to diplay the rest of the objects, you need to activate the scrollbars.
Now, to be able to scroll on a Content canvas, you may need to set the "Show scroll bar" property on the Window where you canvas is shown.
Hope this helps,
