Need Scrollbars enabled while RadGridView is disabled

[Arpit]

 Hi,

I need the scrollbars of the RadGridView enabled when the RadGridView itself is disabled.

Any ideas how to do that?

Thanks

Hello,

 Can you post more info about your scenario? For example you can apply global style for GridViewRow with desired setting(s).

My GridView has n number of rows in it so that its vertical scrollbar is visible.

Now if GridView is disabled, scrollbar should still be enabled so that the user can scroll through the rows and can view them all.

Currently with the default implementation of Scrollbar, it gets disabled when I disable the grid.

I have a feeling that this behavior can be easily changed by altering the Template of GridView but I don't know how to do that.

Still looking for a solution...

Please let me know if my problem is not clear.

Thanks,

Hi,

 Have you tried to apply style for GridViewRow as I suggested in my previous reply? 

Kind regards,

Do I need to apply style for GridViewRow (or RadGridView because scrollbar belongs to RadGridView instead of GridViewRow)?

I also need the scrollbars of a RadGridView to be enabled even though the RadGridView itself is disabled.

To me it seems very strange to have a style for GridViewRow for this...

Could you (Telerik) please provide some code to show how this is done?

To be very clear I have a RadGridView like this:

<telerik:RadGridView x:Name="MyGridView" IsEnabled="False" />

When my data is displayed there are to many rows so scrollbars are displayed, but they are disabled because the RadGridView is disabled. I want the scrollbars to be enabled even though the RadGrdiView is disabled.

Thanks // David

Hello David,

By design when the control is disabled, scrollbars will be disabled too.
Maybe you need an enabled RadGridView , which is Readonly ?
Another alternative would be to disable just cells and leave RadGridView enabled.

Let me know which way is better for you in case you need additional assistance.

Setting ReadOnly to true provides the behavoir I want, but not the visual look. I want the control to look disabled (grayed out) and ReadOnly doesn't do that.

Setting IsEnabled on individual cells seems like too much work. Also, sometimes I set IsEnabled="False" on a higher level (say on a UserControl containing a RadGridView and other controls) and not on the RadGridView itself. This will bubble down and the RadGridView will still be disabled (it doesn't matter if I try to set IsEnabled to true on the RadGridView).

I guess I have to find another solution...

[Arpit]

This is not what I need. I need the RadGridView to be completely disabled except its scrollbars.
There are reasons for which I can't afford to mark it ReadOnly.

[Arpit]

In the latest version of Telerik controls, While the IsEnabled of Radgridview is set to false, is it possible to scroll bars of the grid enabled?

[Vanya Pavlova]

Hello Haagel,

 

By design when you disable RadGridView its scrollbars will be disabled as well. If you want to enable these scrollbars just create a style targeted at GridViewRow and set its IsEnabled property to False:

 

<Style TargetType="{x:Type GridViewRow}">
   <Setter Property="IsEnabled" Value="False"/>
</Style>

Thanks,
It worked but the vertical scrollbar overlapps the last column. Any workaround for this?

[Vanya Pavlova]

Hi Arpit,

 

You may set the ColumnWidth property of RadGridView to star ("*") and it will fill the available space. As an alternative you may set the Width of the last column to star and the effect will be the same.  
Then you will be able to scroll through the disabled rows of RadGridView.

Where does this style tag get added, in the aspx where my radgrid is?
