Is is possible to change the scrolling behavior of the grid so that it scrolls in a conventional way instead of scrolling to the next record? This causes us problems when we have a record whose height is greater than the height of the grid (you can then never see all of it because the record does not fit into the grid's viewport).

Kind regards,

Will Holley

Hi Will,

If I correctly understand you, you need a "per-pixel" scrolling. Our scrolling and virtualization use 'logical", not 'physical' scrolling. This means that the scrolling unit is an entire row and not a line of pixels.
This is done for performance reasons and physical scroll mode is not planned for the upcoming versions of the grid.

If the lack of such feature is critical for you project, please let me know. In such case  we can try thinking of some workaround  e.g. using nested scrollviewer in the template or some scroll simulation using transforms.

Hi Pavel,

Thanks for your response. It is critical for us that we have per-pixel scrolling as many of our rows are larger than the viewport and we want to avoid having double vertical scrollbars. Additionally, we very rarely have a large number of rows, so we don't expect performance to be a problem.

If you have a workaround that only involves re-templating that would be great.

Kind regards,

Will

Hi Will,

I am afraid that templating the row cannot change the scrolling behavior of the grid. I was rather thinking of a scroll logic embedded in the row template. You are absolutely right that putting two scrollbars besides is not an elegant solution. Please see the sample project I attached. It provides some scroll functionality without using a scrollbar. I believe it can be integrated in your row template and I hope it will help you solve the problem to some extent.

Thanks Pavel,

Unfortunately this solution is not suitable - we *need* the ability to scroll per pixel. This is related to a similar requirement that we need the grids to have a desired size so that we can have controls which dock to the bottom of it (e.g. putting the grid and a paging bar in a vertical stackpanel). If the grid had a desired size then we could just put the grid in a standard ScrollViewer and the problem would be solved.

Is there any scope for re-templating things to allow this?

Hi Will,
 
I've just came up with a possible solution that will allow smooth scrolling through rows with "extraordinary" height. I have added a special case that changes the scrolling behavior when GridViewRow.Height is larger than RadGridView.ViewPortHeight.
We are having our QA guys go over the build at the moment, and if everything runs smooth, we can send it to you in a day or two.

Thanks Hristo - is that the same build that Nedyalko sent us in ticket 163610?
