[Solved] Grid loses horizontal scrollbar

[Matt]

I have a scrolling grid with the first column frozen, like this:

<

radG:RadGrid ID="RadGrid1" runat="server" Skin="GHNSkin" OnNeedDataSource= "RadGrid1_NeedDataSource" AllowPaging="True" AllowSorting="True" ShowFooter="True" AllowFilteringByColumn="True" Width="990px" OnItemDataBound="RadGrid1_ItemDataBound" OnItemCreated="radGrd_ItemCreated" PagerStyle-AlwaysVisible="true" >

<ClientSettings>
<Scrolling AllowScroll="True" UseStaticHeaders="True" FrozenColumnsCount="1"></Scrolling>
</ClientSettings>

I've found that using IE 7.0, if I click the Restore button (between the window minimize and close buttons), the scrollbar vanishes (along with the functionality). Clicking the restore button again does not fix the problem.

Suggestions?

Hello Bill,

One possible solution may be to put fixes width in pixels for the columns of the control. This will ensure that they are not resized, and thus the scrollbar will be preserved.

I've noticed that removing the "FrozenColumnsCount" fixes the problem.

Setting a fixed column width also fixes the problem, but introduces another problem... Any data that now wraps to two lines is cut off - the row doesn't dynamically resize itself to be two rows of text high. I set the column width via:

<ItemStyle Width="200px">

Thanks.

I just realized I posted this in the AJAX forum section, when I'm still using the grid for ASP.Net. I'll repost there, you can ignore this one.
