<![CDATA[QML Scrollview does not work.]]>I need to create a long form using QML. The form will not fit inside the window, so I need for it to be scrollable. However I can't get the scroll view to work. Here is a minimum working example of my problem:

import QtQuick.Window 2.2
import QtQuick 2.9
import QtQuick.Controls 2.3

Window {
    visible: true
    width: 1280
    height: 720
    title: qsTr("Hello World")

    Rectangle{
        anchors.centerIn: parent
        width: parent.width*0.8;
        height: parent.height*0.7;

        ScrollView {
            anchors.fill: parent
            clip: true
            contentHeight: parent.height

            Rectangle{
                id: rect1
                width: parent.width
                height: 200
                color: "#ffff00"
                anchors.horizontalCenter: parent.horizontalCenter
            }

            Rectangle{
                id: rect2
                width: parent.width
                height: 500
                color: "#ff00ff"
                anchors.top: rect1.bottom
                anchors.horizontalCenter: parent.horizontalCenter
            }


            Rectangle{
                id: rect3
                width: parent.width
                height: 500
                color: "#00ffff"
                anchors.top: rect2.bottom
                anchors.horizontalCenter: parent.horizontalCenter
            }

        }

    }


}

As I understand it, this should allow me to scroll in order to see the 3 rectangles. However I only the see the first one and the upper half of the second one and I can't scroll.

Any help would be greatly appriciated

In case it matter I have tried it with both Qt 5.10 and 5.12 with different compilers and the effect is the same. It seems to be that I'm using it wrong.

Sorry, that should have been a textarea not a textedit. Newer versions of textedit wont scroll. This works though:

So now the contentHeight is 1200 that is (rect1.height + rect2.height + rect3.height)

Sample code:-

ScrollView {
          anchors.fill: parent
          clip: true
          contentHeight: 1200
          [..]
          [..]
}

Just have a look into the flickable documentation[https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qml-qtquick-flickable.html]
