Horizontal scrollbar can't be hidden

[B Jones]

In the latest dev build it is not possible to hide the horizontal scrollbar. This was working in the version I was using previously, 2011.1.411.1040. This seems to be caused by a change to GridViewVirtualizingPanel.MeasureOverride. I have worked around the problem by creating a derived class that saves off the HorizontalScrollBarVisibility, calls the base class MeasureOverride, and restores the original visibility.

public class MyTreeListViewVirtualizingPanel : TreeListViewVirtualizingPanel
{
    protected override Size MeasureOverride(Size constraint)
    {
        var visibility = this.ScrollOwner.HorizontalScrollBarVisibility;
        var size = base.MeasureOverride(constraint);
        this.ScrollOwner.HorizontalScrollBarVisibility = visibility;

        return size;
    }
}

Xaml that demonstrates the problem:

<telerik:RadTreeListView x:Name="_tree" ItemsSource="{Binding TheData}"
        AutoGenerateColumns="False"
        ScrollViewer.HorizontalScrollBarVisibility="Hidden"
        ScrollViewer.VerticalScrollBarVisibility="Hidden">

    <telerik:RadTreeListView.ChildTableDefinitions>
        <telerik:TreeListViewTableDefinition ItemsSource="{Binding Children}" />
    </telerik:RadTreeListView.ChildTableDefinitions>

    <telerik:RadTreeListView.Columns>
        <telerik:GridViewDataColumn Header="Column 1" Width="400" DataMemberBinding="{Binding Col1}" />
        <telerik:GridViewDataColumn Header="Column 2" Width="400" DataMemberBinding="{Binding Col2}" />
    </telerik:RadTreeListView.Columns>
</telerik:RadTreeListView>

I've also attached an image that shows the scrollbar is visible in spite of being hidden in the xaml (screenshot taken w/o the workaround).

Hello B Jones,

Indeed I was able to see that setting the ScrollViewer.HorizontalScrollBarVisibility is not taking any effect with the latest version of the controls. We will investigate what is wrong.

Until then I may suggest you another workaround as well - you could set the ColumnWidth="*" property
 of the RadGridView. That way there will be not a horizontal ScrollBar shown.

Hi B Jones,

 We have resolved the problem with the ScrollViewer.HorizontalScrollBarVisibility. Soon, the Q3 2011 version of the RadControls will be released and the fix will be available within it.

Kind regards,
