XPTaskBar Horizontal scroll

[Administrator]

When I set the AutoScroll property of an XPTaskBar to true, I can geta vertical scrolbar to appear when one (or more) of the child XPTaskBarBox's is expanded beyond the visible area.

However, I can't seem to get a horizontal scrollbar to appear when controls within an XPTaskBarBox are covered up. Is there any way to do this?

Hi Mark,

Thanks for your interest in Syncfusion products.

Vertical scrollbar will be automatically added to the XPTaskBar,
But The horizontal scrollbar appears on setting the VerticalLayout property to 'True' and ColWidthOnHorizontalLayout property to large values.
this.xpTaskBar1.VerticalLayout = True;
this.xpTaskBar1.ColWidthOnHorizontalAlignment = 300;

Refer the sample in the following link which demonstrates the above.

I'm finding that the horizontal scrollbar will appear when I set VerticalLayout to false.
But the problem is, I want the vertical layout. I don't want the boxes to ever be side by side (which they can be if VerticalLayout == false) but I do want a horizontal scroll if any of the items aren't in view.

I've attached an image (zipped) that, hopefully, demonstrates the problem.
Again, the only way I can make the horizontal scrollbar to appear is if I set the VerticalLayout property to false but I don't want that because I do want the taskbarboxes to only layout vertically.

Hi Mark,

Thanks for the details.

You can override the LayoutTaskBarBoxes method to get the XPTaskBar laid out as your requirement as follows:

protected override void LayoutTaskBarBoxes(int nTaskBarBoxesHeght)
{
int offset = 0;
if (BorderStyle == BorderStyle.Fixed3D)
offset = 4;
else if (BorderStyle == BorderStyle.Fixed3D)
offset = 2;
foreach (XPTaskBarBox taskMenuBox in this.Controls)
{
int nClientWidth = this.Width - this.DockPadding.Left- this.DockPadding.Right - offset;
int width = this.ColWidthOnHorizontalAlignment;
Size newSize = new Size(width, taskMenuBox.GetPreferredHeight());
newSize.Width = Math.Max(0,newSize.Width);
newSize.Height = Math.Max(0,newSize.Height);
if (newSize != taskMenuBox.Size)
taskMenuBox.Size = newSize;
}
}

Refer the sample in the following link which demonstrates the above.
