Scroll RadGrid Horizontally

[Ed]

Hi,
 I have needs to make RadGrid scroll Horizontally, here is my code:

RadGrid1.Width = Unit.Percentage(100);
RadGrid1.MasterTableView.Width = Unit.Pixel(2100);
RadGrid1.ClientSettings.Scrolling.AllowScroll = true;

It's not working, the grid just extends horizontally. it will work if I assign a fixed width to RadGrid1 instead of using 100%, but tha's not what I want. 

Please help

Hello Ed,

In order to display horizontal scroll for navigation, you need to make sure that the total width of the columns (either auto-generated or declaratively set) exceeds the width of the grid.Check the following demo for further information

Thanks,

This is not what I am looking for, I am calling a web service that return collection of objects that have about 20 - 40 properties, by default RadGrid tries to pack all these properties into the grid with 100% width, that make it impossible to read, the only option I can think of is to make grid data area wider, I succeeded in increasing MasterTableView width, but I don't want the grid to extend horizontally.

Hello Ed,

In order to have a horizontal RadGrid scrollbar, I suggest that you set the TableLayout of the MasterTableView to "Fixed", remove the MasterTableView's width and make sure that if you are setting column widths, their sum exceed the width of RadGrid.

Let us know if you need more information.

Hello Pavlina,
 
I already set MasterTableView Layout to Fixed. The problem I have, I put this grid in an user control that accepts data from different sources. At design time, there are no ways to know how many columns the grid will have, also no ways to know which columns require larger spaces. But I actually create columns at run time based on the data returned from data stores,  similar problems though,  very difficult to determine spaces for each column.

Thanks again.

Hi Ed,

Can you please isolate the problem in a sample project and send it to us via a support ticket, so that we can test it locally and provided a proper solution for your case?
