Add scroll bar to fixed size list

Question

hi,

I am trying to create a report with 'Report Builder 3.0' that contains fixed sizes and without the ability to grow. 

I want to add to the report a list with fixed size. If the number of rows in the list exceeds the size of the list, a scroll bar will Appear.

Is it possible to perform the above? If it is possible please explain how.

This is the result I'm trying to achieve:

Hi There

Thanks for your posting. As far as I know SSRS does not allow limit the growth of tables and adding a vertical scrollbar.

Many thanks

Hi Avner123,

From your description, you want add a scroll bar to your report when the content of some textbox is too long, then the textbox won’t take too much space, right? As per my understanding, it’s not supported in Reporting Services currently. We only can set the Textbox's CanGrow to true to show the whole of them on the report. I recommend you that submit this suggestion at
https://connect.microsoft.com/SQLServer/ . If the suggestion mentioned by customers for many times, the product team may consider to improve it in the next SQL Server version. Your feedback is valuable for us to improve our products and increase the level of service provided.

Thank you for your understanding.

Hi,

Thank you for the quick response,

It's a littel disappionting that such a trivial function dose not exist in SSRS tools.

I hope  the next  SQL Server version will allow us to control the report's elements fixed size attribute, in this way we will be able to control the report's behavior when the amount of data varies.

Regards,
