RadGrid vertical and horizontal scroll bar width

[CJ]

Hi,

I am using RadGridview for an application that runs on touch screen monitor. It becomes very difficult for the users to scroll using the standard sized scroll bars that come up in radgrid. Can someone please advice on how to increase the scroll bar width.

thanks

Hello,

For the vertical scrollbar you can use the following:

radGridView1.GridViewElement.TableElement.VScrollBar.MinSize = new Size(radGridView1.GridViewElement.TableElement.VScrollBar.Size.Width + 30, radGridView1.GridViewElement.TableElement.VScrollBar.Size.Height);

For the Horizontal one, the same but use HScrollBar.MinSize.

If you have any more questions please just let me know, and if the question has been solved, please mark the all of the helpfull posts as answers, so that others can find the answers to their questions faster.

Hi,
 
Thank you it worked out well. Just that for HScrollBar i had to increase the height instead of width like this

radGridView1.GridViewElement.TableElement.HScrollBar.MinSize =

 

new Size(radGridView1.GridViewElement.TableElement.HScrollBar.Size.Width, radGridView1.GridViewElement.TableElement.HScrollBar.Size.Height + 20);

 

Thanks for the support

thanks

Hello Sagayanathan,

Pleas consider Emanuel's code snippet, as it demonstrates the correct way to change the size of RadGridView scroll bars. Should you have further questions feel free to ask.

radGridView1.GridViewElement.TableElement.VScrollBar.MinSize = newSize(radGridView1.GridViewElement.TableElement.VScrollBar.Size.Width + 30, radGridView1.GridViewElement.TableElement.VScrollBar.Size.Height);

when I use this I get the following error...

GridViewElement is not a member of RadGridView?

Hello Michael,

Thank you for writing.

GridViewElement is a property of RadGridView from the moment RadGridView was introduced. There should not be a situation where the property is missing. Can you please verify that you are referencing the Telerik.WinControls.GridView assembly and you have not created a new RadGridView class by mistake. Also you can try to create a new test project, add the needed references and try the code again.

If none of these work, I would kindly ask you to send me your project or a sample so I can investigate the issue further.

Looking forward to your reply.
