Shared Scrollbars

Controls are usually tied to a Windows provided scrollbar for scrolling purposes. While this works well for most cases, there are use cases where this approach will not work. For example, in a workbook, controls will have to share a single scrollbar. This is not possible for controls that have their scrolling logic entwined with an intrinsic scrollbar.

Essential Grid is not directly tied to a Windows provided intrinsic scrollbar even though it fully supports it. Its scrolling implementation utilizes a different architecture that makes it fully independent of the intrinsic Windows scrollbar. Consequently, Essential Grid can be embedded in a tab / workbook and share scrollbars with other windows. It can also be hooked up to any independent scrollbar control.
