Hi,

my client needs a second horizontal scrollbar, in top of RadGrid.

I used to do it with this Javascript function:

function dobleScroll() {
    var element = document.getElementById('divGrid');
    if (element == null) {
        setTimeout('dobleScroll();', 1000);
    }
    else {
        var scrollbar = document.createElement('div');
        scrollbar.appendChild(document.createElement('div'));
        scrollbar.style.overflow = 'auto';
        scrollbar.style.overflowY = 'hidden';
        scrollbar.style.width = element.clientWidth + 'px';
        scrollbar.firstChild.style.width = element.scrollWidth + 'px';
        scrollbar.firstChild.style.paddingTop = '1px';
        scrollbar.firstChild.appendChild(document.createTextNode('\xA0'));
        scrollbar.onscroll = function () {
            element.scrollLeft = scrollbar.scrollLeft;
        };
        element.onscroll = function () {
            scrollbar.scrollLeft = element.scrollLeft;
        };
        element.parentNode.insertBefore(scrollbar, element);
    }
}

The element "divGrid" is the HTML div that contains the grid.
This code works properly with .NET GridView, but it doesn't work with Telerik RadGrid. RadGrid creates more "div" elements than GridView and these divs have the value "0" for scrollWidth property.

Can anybody help me?
Thanks a lot

Hello Álvaro,

  Currently, there is no built-in feature that enables second scroll bar on top of the grid. At this point I can not suggest a straightforward solution because I am not familiar with your project's requirements (i.e where exactly this scroll bar should be positioned)  nor with the grid settings/implementation. As you understand, there are many scenarios that have to be handled, so the solution would depend on them.
Also please note that RadGrid provides much more features than GridView, so its structure is more complex based on its extended functionality.Therefore the same approach won't fit to the RadGrid control.

Thanks Venelin,

I know I'm developing a strange functionality. I've found a solution and I share it, perhaps there will be any users that they want to do the same with Telerik RadGrid.

I've modified "dobleScroll", and this is the function code now:

function dobleScroll() {
    var divGrid = document.getElementById('divGrid');
    if (divGrid == null) {
        setTimeout('dobleScroll();', 1000);
    }
    else {
        var grid = divGrid.childNodes[0].childNodes[0].childNodes[0].childNodes[0];
        var scrollbar = document.createElement('div');
        scrollbar.appendChild(document.createElement('div'));
        scrollbar.style.overflow = 'auto';
        scrollbar.style.overflowY = 'hidden';
        scrollbar.style.width = divGrid.clientWidth + 'px';
        scrollbar.firstChild.style.width = grid.scrollWidth + 'px';
        scrollbar.firstChild.style.paddingTop = '1px';
        scrollbar.firstChild.appendChild(document.createTextNode('\xA0'));
        var divContenedorGrid = grid.parentNode;
        scrollbar.onscroll = function () {
            divContenedorGrid.scrollLeft = scrollbar.scrollLeft;
        };
        divContenedorGrid.onscroll = function () {
            scrollbar.scrollLeft = divContenedorGrid.scrollLeft;
        };
        divContenedorGrid.parentNode.insertBefore(scrollbar, divContenedorGrid);
    }
}

Hello Álvaro,

It seems that you have found a solution for your specific case, but your are not explaining what the case is. As I mentioned in the previous post the solution strongly depend on the grid's settings. In this code snippet there are hard-coded values which means that it won't work for every case.
