# Scroll Area
The scroll area is a control that can contain other controls in a larger area than the size of the scroll area control. The total area of the control can be accessed with scroll bars that will appear automatically if needed. It can have Vertical and / or Horizontal scrolls.
This control area, can also be divided into **Sections**. The main goal of sections is to dynamically show/hide content to the user. When a section is made invisible, its space will be collapsed and it will not occupy space. For example, if you setup 3 vertical sections, and make the middle one invisible, then it will show section 1 followed by section 3.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:
```
GET https://doc.sysdevmobile.com/kalipso5/developing/form/controls/type/scroll-area.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
