    Hi,

    I have a listbox being used on a touchscreen based PC.  I would like to be able to scroll my list up and down by dragging on the list itself and then pressing an item within the list to select it. 

    Failing that is there any way to increase the width of the scrollbars so that dragging the vertical scrollbar is easier?

    Regards,

    Jon

    Hello Jon,

    Thanks for contacting us and for your question.

    Currently, the RadControls for WinForms suite does not support touch-screen functionality out of the box.

    However, you can increase the size of the RadScrollBarElement which resides in the RadListBox and thus make it convenient for dragging by using a touch screen.

    Here is how you can achieve this:

    private void AdjustScrollBarWidth(int desiredWidth)
    {
        int defaultWidth = SystemInformation.VerticalScrollBarWidth;
        int offsetLeft = -(desiredWidth - defaultWidth);
     
        RadScrollLayoutPanel scrollLayout = this.radListBox1.RootElement.Children[0].Children[2] as RadScrollLayoutPanel;
        scrollLayout.VerticalScrollBar.MinSize = new Size(desiredWidth, 0);
        scrollLayout.VerticalScrollBar.Margin = new Padding(offsetLeft, 0, 0, 0);
    }

    I hope this helps. Do not hesitate to contact us if you have other questions.

    All the best,

    Hi Georgi,

    OK no problem.

    Thanks for the code demoing the increased scrollbar width - I'll get my app modified to work with this.

    Best Regards,

    Jon

    We are using the latest version of your controls which no longer has the RadListBox.  How can we acheive the same results using RadListControl or RadListView?

    Thanks

    Hello Dave,

    Thank you for writing.

    Please refer to the attached project, which demonstrates how to increase the size of the scroll bars in RadListControl and RadListView. Additionally, you can observe the implementation of kinetic scrolling, which you might find helpful for touch applications.

    I hope that you find this helpful. Should you have any other questions, do not hesitate to contact us.
