Non-visible components do not appear in Blocks view

John_Eaton · December 18, 2024, 2:48am

I have several non-visible components in my project Clocks, Notifiers, BLE etc.
There are no corresponding "drawers" on the Blocks view. Interestingly they do show in the Any drawer.
I am using Chrome and I have tried on 2 PCs with same result. I have also opened a version of the same project from 1 month ago and get the same issue.
This post is the closest I have found but the solution to change properties did nothing for me. https://community.appinventor.mit.edu/t/viewer-in-blocks-not-visible-for-screen/111131

Check your Project Properties to make sure you have
Blocks Toolkit = default

...

Not seeing that issue here, also using Chrome. All AnyComponents are shown, and their respective blocks are also available.

Your images do show that non-visible components are in the AnyComponents section, e.g. Any Clock, Any DataFile, Any BluetoothLE ?

Yes set to default and
Yes non-visibles do show under Any but not in their own right.
See image...

Not sure what you mean by this ?

I created a new project and dragged in a clock component, nothing else. This is what I see in the Blocks Editor:

Click on the + next to Screen1 to expand the component tree. There will also be components that are not visible.

My apologies... Rookie mistake on a small screen.
To make the second vertical scroll bar visible I had to move the lower horizontal scroll bar to the right. Earlier it appeared the only way to see all options was to collapse the groups.
Sorry to waste your time and thanks for your help.
