RadGridView Scroll in Windows 8 too thin

[Allen]

I am using a RadGridView and notice that when the Grid gets too long the vertical scroll is too thin and makes it hard for users to select it and scroll.

This happens for the windows 8 theme as shown in the attachment.

Is it possible for me to get the control template for the scroll bar used in the Grid in the Windows 8 theme so I can make it wider?

Thanks

Hello Allen Ho,


You should modify the template of ScrollViewer for Windows8 and change Width and Height properties of the Thumb in order to achieve your goal: 

<Style x:Key="ThumbVerticalStyle" TargetType="Thumb">
        <Setter Property="IsTabStop" Value="False"/>
        <Setter Property="Width" Value="22"/>

  <Style x:Key="ThumbHorizontalStyle" TargetType="Thumb">
        <Setter Property="IsTabStop" Value="False"/>
        <Setter Property="Height" Value="22"/>
        <Setter Property="Template">

I'm attaching you sample project which demonstrates how to achieve your goal.

Hi Vanya,

Thanks for that,
But for whatever reason when I apply that template the scroll in my RadGridView is still not being updated.

Any ideas what to do?

Thanks

Hi,

Are you eventually using Implicit Styles? If, please follow the article on how to define Styles.
Otherwise, if you have referenced the full binaries and the style is still not applied, may I ask you to open a support thread and attach the project there?
I have forwarded your other ticket to the sales department and they should advise you on how you can open a support thread.

Hi Didie,

I believe I am setting the implicit styles correctly.
This is because scroll bars are set correctly elsewhere in the application but not getting set correctly for the scroll bars that are shown in the RadGridView

I am hesitant about sharing code as I need to discuss that with my company.
Any information as to why this may be is appreciated
Thanks

Hi,

You can try changing the sample my colleague previously sent to replicate the case you have. 
It is indeed strange that this works in the demo, the style also gets applied to all other controls in your solution, however, it does not get applied for the RadGridView in your same solution.

I am afraid we cannot suggest much without a sample project. You can also take a look at this blog post for a reference on how to isolate an issue.
