How to enable scrolling for Label in Power Apps canvas apps

Hello everyone and welcome to my blog. In today’s blog I will discuss how to show scrollbar in label in canvas apps.

If you are using Power Apps, it’s almost certain that you have used the Label control. But one problem with the label control is when the text content of the label does not fit in the label, the content is cut off. Below illustration show the behavior.

We can enable Auto height to adjust the height of the label automatically based on content. But then it’s not always the best solution since increasing the label may eventually overlap with other content.

Quite unknown to many, we can enable scrolling for label control in canvas app. First ensure that Wrap is enabled.

The next step is to set the Overflow property to Scroll and Display mode to View.

The label should now have scrolling enabled. Below illustration show the output.

Hope this helped. For similar interesting topics on Microsoft.NET and Power platform, please subscribe to my blog.
