Interface IFillReportsMinimumHeight

Namespace

SharpConsoleUI.Layout

Assembly

SharpConsoleUI.dll

Marks a control that, when placed with Fill inside a scroll viewport (e.g. ScrollablePanelControl), has a hard minimum height it cannot shrink below and does not scroll its own content internally — so when the viewport is shorter than that minimum the hosting panel must scroll on its behalf.

Remarks

A Fill child is normally measured against its allotted Fill slot (the viewport share), and a host with a short viewport therefore never learns the child needs more room. That is correct for the common cases: a content-shorter-than-slot control (a label) simply fills its slot, and a self-scrolling container (a nested ScrollablePanelControl, TableControl) deliberately caps itself to the viewport and scrolls its own content — it must NOT be measured for its full content, or the outer panel would try to scroll it instead of letting it scroll internally.

A control like GridControl is the exception: its fixed (Cells) rows neither shrink nor scroll, so when the viewport is too short the rows would squash (clip) with no way to reveal them. Implementing this marker tells the scroll viewport to measure the child unbounded — discovering its true minimum height — and then take the larger of that minimum and the Fill slot. When there is room the Fill slot wins (the child fills, unchanged); when the viewport is shorter than the minimum, the minimum wins and the panel shows a scrollbar and scrolls to reveal the clipped rows.

This is a pure behavioural marker — it carries no members. The minimum itself is whatever the control reports from its measure pass when given an unbounded height.
