For the parameter Component : add the component you want to set the bottom position of. For the bottom position parameter : add an integer value with how much you would like the bottom position be, an examples are:





OK thank you, why SetBottom instead of SetHeight ?

SetBottomPosition , changes the position of the bottom of the component only, setHeight changes the whole component height and position.Here is the difference:

I think you can understand the change from Text for Button 1 :slightly_smiling_face:

OK, why SetBottomPosition does not run in Screen.Initialize?

Most probably , it's a method that is called in the components source code after the bottom position is set which rests the bottom position.After testing in companion it looks like the bottom position got set and then it resets again.I will see what can i made, right now, don't use set bottom position at screen initialization.

I am not able to perform a event when my arrangement is clicked.

Didn't understand you, you mean the touched even isn't triggered ?

Yes, I want to listen for a compoent click.

So the touched event isn't triggered, have you registered the component?
