How to show Scrollbar in SFChat to scroll messages up or down?

[Milan Gohil]

Syncfusion Team,

I am developing the Xamarin.Forms application and using SFChat control to implement a chat feature. I want to show the Scrollbar in UWP as well as iOS and Android, so that, user can know there are chat messages in history and this scrollbar gives kind of an indication for this.

The client application which I am working on, requires this, as a Mandatory feature.

Is there any way we can enable this (scrollbar) at the moment? I can't wrap this SFChat inside the ScrollView which gives weird issues.

I have attached the screenshot in the zip file for your reference.

Syncfusion : 18.4.0.47

Xamarin.Forms : 5.0.0.2083

Thanks,

Milan

Hi Milan,

Thanks for using Syncfusion products. To show the scroll bar, set true to the IsScrollBarVisible property of our internal list view control, that we have used inside the chat control using the below code.

(this.sfChat.GetType().GetRuntimeProperties().FirstOrDefault(x => x.Name.Equals("ChatListView")).GetValue(this.sfChat) as SfListView).IsScrollBarVisible = true;

Hi,

Thanks for responding quickly. This solved the problem. However, It would be great if this is documented here.

Or, it will be much useful if this property is exposed, so we can set this to true/false at SFChat control level.

Thanks,

Milan.
