How can I specify the scrolling height only and leave the width to expand to the container?

[Xander van der Merwe]

As per the subject line, you seem to have to specify both the scrolling height and width. If you only specify the height then the width of the grid shrinks to quite a narrow grid.

this works:

scrolling: { height: 500, width:900 },

but this does not work:

scrolling: { height: 500 },   // I only want to specify the scrolling height

Thanks in advance

One way that sort of works is to specify a width attribute on the grid like so:

 $(element).ejGrid({

        allowSorting: true,

        allowMultiSorting: true,

        width: "100%",

        allowScrolling: true,

        scrolling: { height: 400, allowVirtualScrolling: true },

        pageSettings: { pageSize: 15 },

        ...etc...

});

The above will render the width correctly when the grid is displayed initially, but if the user resizes the browser and changes the browser width then the grid rendering is messed up, and loses the vertical scrollbar for example if the browser width is decreased during the resize.

Is there a more elegant way to do this?

Thanks in advance

Hi Xander,

 

The width and height property specify the width and height for the control and the grid automatically displays horizontal and vertical scroll bars respectively.

 

If the width is not specified then the grid will be rendered with the scroller, which has default width of 250.

 

To avoid the scrolling width from using default value, set the width property as 0.

 

Please refer the code snippet.

 

 

$("#Grid").ejGrid({

                // the datasource "window.gridData" is referred from jsondata.min.js

                dataSource: ej.DataManager(window.gridData).executeLocal(ej.Query().take(30)),

                commonWidth: 200,

                allowScrolling: true,

                scrolling: {width:0,height: 300, allowVirtualScrolling: true }

               . . . .

});

 

 

If the width is set as auto/zero then we need to refresh the grid scroller when the browser is resized.

 

The scroller can be refreshed using the window resize event as follow.

 

 

window.onresize = function () {

                var gridobj = $('#Grid').data('ejGrid');

               gridobj.element.find(".e-gridcontent").ejScroller("refresh");

            }

 

 

 

Please let us know if you have any queries.
