How to show horizontal scroll bar always on GridControl?

[JeeNew]

I have a grid control with 2columns, column widths are 70px and 1000px respectively. But the width of the WinForms is just 900px, which is less than the width of the GridControl, hence trying to figure out how to show the horizontal scroll bar always.I have tried adding the below code into the constructor of the form and it is not working for me.            this.gridControl.HScroll = true;            this.gridControl.HScrollBehavior = GridScrollbarMode.Enabled;Is there any other property that I must enable to display the horizontal scroll bar?Thanks in advance!

Hi Jeevan,   

Thanks for using Syncfusion products.   

By default, the horizontal scroll bar will be added when the column width is more than the GridControl width. You can enable the horizontal scroll bar by enabling the HScroll and HScrollBehavior properties. We have created a simple sample as your scenario. Unfortunately, we are not able to reproduce the issue at our end. And we suspect that the issue occurs due to customization of your sample. Please ensure that whether the column width is higher than the GridControl width. Provide below details that will help us to provide you a better solution.   

• A simple video or screenshot to reproduce the issue.
• Sample code of setting the column width and form size or if possible modify the attached sample with issue replication which will help us to proceed further to provide you  a better solution as per your requirement.

Hi Arulpriya,

Setting the this.gridControl.HScrollPixel = true; fixed my issue. Thanks for the sample link.

I have another question -

 I have a very long column say 15000px long. Is there a way to have the header for this column fixed? So that even no matter what position the horizontal scroll bar is we can still see the header text.

Thanks in advance.

Hi Jeevan, 

Thanks for your update. 

By default, the HeaderText for a cell will be drawn at center of the cell. In order to fix the HeaderText at left of the cell when scrolling, the DrawCellDisplayText and HorizontalScroll events can be used. In DrawCellDisplayText event, RangeInfoToRectangle() method can be used to get the visible range of the cell and the string can draw manually using DrawString() method. Please make use of below code and sample, 

Code snippet 

 

//Event triggering 

this.gridControl1.HorizontalScroll += GridControl1_HorizontalScroll; 

 

//Event Cudtomization 

private void GridControl1_HorizontalScroll(object sender, ScrollEventArgs e) 

{ 

    this.gridControl1.InvalidateRange(GridRangeInfo.Row(0)); 

} 

 

//Event triggering 

this.gridControl1.DrawCellDisplayText += new GridDrawCellDisplayTextEventHandler(gridControl1_DrawCellDisplayText); 

 

//Event Customization 

void gridControl1_DrawCellDisplayText(object sender, GridDrawCellDisplayTextEventArgs e) 

{ 

    Rectangle rectangle = this.gridControl1.RangeInfoToRectangle(GridRangeInfo.Cell(e.RowIndex, e.ColIndex)); 

    Rectangle nextRectangle = this.gridControl1.RangeInfoToRectangle(GridRangeInfo.Cell(e.RowIndex, e.ColIndex + 1)); 

    Rectangle tableControlRectangle = this.gridControl1.ClientRectangle; 

    Rectangle textRect = e.TextRectangle; 

    if (e.RowIndex == 0 && 

            rectangle.X + rectangle.Width >= nextRectangle.X) 

    { 

        e.Graphics.DrawString(e.DisplayText, e.Style.GdipFont, new SolidBrush(e.Style.TextColor), (int)(rectangle.X), textRect.Y); 

        e.Cancel = true; 

    } 

}
