Smooth scrolling & Cell activation

[Patrick]

Does any one know how to make virtical and horizontal scrolling be smooth? I don't want to scroll per cell, I want to be able to scroll with X amount based on the scroll bar. i.e an editor.

Also, is there any one to make cell selection not to scroll the grid at all? i.e if I clicked on a partial visible cell, the grid will make entire cell visible. Is there any one to prevent that?

Thanks,
Patrick

No, not currently. We will support pixel scrolling in a future release.

That said, you can simulate not scrolling a whole cell by using covered cells. The idea is instead of having a 'normal' width cell, have maybe 10 cells of 1/10 the width of the normal cell, and then cover these 10 cells to make them look like the one normal cell. This will allow the 'normal cell' to scroll in 1/10 increments instead of its normal single cell scroll increment.

Clay, thanks for the quick reply.

Your suggestion is great, I hope you guys can have pixel scrolling soon.

My second question was, how can I prevent the grid from shifting the selected column from partial visible to completely visible when I select a partially visible cell. Can you please give me some advice?

Try handling the CurrentCellMoving event and there you can adjust

e.Options &= ~GridSetCurrentCellOptions.ScrollInView;

If that does not work then try handling CurrentCellMoving, and set some boolean flag. The handle LeftColChanging and set e.Cancel = true; if the boolean flag is set. In CurrentCellMoved you should reset the boolean flag.
