Disabling GridView does not work

[W]

Hi,

When you disable the Gridview (DataGridView.Enabled = false) the scrollbars are still there, everything is still enabled.

Only the user is not able to click on the element.

This is not according to the Microsoft guidelines. I would expect that the element is grayed out, and the scrollbars should be hidden automatically.   (bug)

Hi W Bons,

I've attached a project with a Disabled RadGridView which illustrates the correct behavior.  The RadGridView and scrollbar are greyed out.  I would recommend contributing to our feedback portal with your idea of hiding the scrollbar when the RadGridView is disabled.

I hope this clears things.

Hi Patrick,

 

Thanks for your reply. Sometimes I have the idea that the way thinks are implemented could have some extra attention to get them at the level of a control that is usable directly without having to perform a lot of actions to get it working the way the world works... Just my 2 cents. Adjusting controls to the way it should work costs us a lot of time. We want to prevent this.

Just like I mentioned that the calendar/scheduler should also work with Islamic calenders. If you build something, it should work for all cases. But due to the fact you cannot build everything, this is probably not going to be build in your calendar/scheduler and leaving us with a problem....

 

Regards and have a nice day

Hello ,

Although we are constantly working on updating our controls and providing the best user experience, we cannot guarantee that each scenario will be covered out of the box.

In this case, however, in order to achieve the desired behavior, you can use the following style triggers:

<Grid.Resources>
    <Style TargetType="telerik:RadGridView" BasedOn="{StaticResource RadGridViewStyle}">
        <Style.Triggers>
            <Trigger Property="IsEnabled" Value="False">
                <Setter Property="ScrollViewer.HorizontalScrollBarVisibility" Value="Hidden"></Setter>
                <Setter Property="ScrollViewer.VerticalScrollBarVisibility" Value="Hidden"></Setter>
            </Trigger>
        </Style.Triggers>
    </Style>
</Grid.Resources>

Please let me know if this will work for you.

Hi,

thanks for you help.

We did something like this, but disabling a grid, should have the functionality inside to hide the scrollbars...
that is my opinion ;)
