shared scroll bars

[Jason Talaban]

Hi there,
I''m working on a form that has 2 virtual grids setup. The data are related and lined up in columns. I want them both to scroll together.

How do I link up an independent scrollbar to my 2 GridControls and then make their original scrollbars invisible? Or is there another way of doing this?

Thanks for any pointers.

Hi , Please try this code and let me know if you need any other further assistance.

            //shares gridcontrol1scrollbars
            gridControl1.HScrollBehavior = GridScrollbarMode.Shared;
            gridControl1.VScrollBehavior = GridScrollbarMode.Shared;
            gridControl1.UseSharedScrollBars = true;
            gridControl1.VScrollBar.InnerScrollBar = vScrollBar1;
            gridControl1.HScrollBar.InnerScrollBar = hScrollBar1;

            //shares gridcontrol2scrollbars
            gridControl2.HScrollBehavior = GridScrollbarMode.Shared;
            gridControl2.VScrollBehavior = GridScrollbarMode.Shared;
            gridControl2.UseSharedScrollBars = true;
            gridControl2.VScrollBar.InnerScrollBar = vScrollBar1;
            gridControl2.HScrollBar.InnerScrollBar = hScrollBar1;

Here is a sample for implementing it. 36722forum.zip Regards, Haneef

Hi, how would I just share the horizontal scrollbar and keep the vertical scrollbars independent? Thanks. >Hi , > Please try this code and let me know if you need any other further assistance. >

Hi Stephen, You can try out with different VScrollBars for different grids. Here is the modified sample. Best regards, Stanley

Hi, is there a way to make the scrollbars XP style? Thanks. >Hi Stephen, > >You can try out with different VScrollBars for different grids. Here is the modified sample. > >Best regards, >Stanley

If you are using .NET 1.1 or 2.0, then in your Main, you can enable themes for Windows Forms controls that support them (including scrollbars).

[STAThread]
static void Main() 
{
	Application.EnableVisualStyles();
	Application.Run(new Form1());
}
