VScrollBar Arrow Text

[Alex]

How do I add the text to the arrow up and arrow down buttons of the vertical scrollbar. For example I want the up button to also display text "UP" in addition to the arrow element.

Hi Alex,

Yes, this is possible. However, you should also replace the arrow to have a consistent look. Here is a sample on how to add text in the top scrollbar button:

RadLabelElement label = new RadLabelElement();
label.Margin = new Padding(5, 0, 5, 0);
label.Text = "UP";
label.TextAlignment = ContentAlignment.TopCenter;
this.radGridView1.GridElement.VScrollBar.FirstButton.Children.Add(label);
this.radGridView1.GridElement.VScrollBar.MinSize = new Size(50, 0);

If you have further questions, please describe in detail the exact look that you want to achieve and I will be glad to help.

When I use the code that you supplied, the up and down buttons stop working. I can scroll up and down by clicking (or dragging) the scroll bar body, but the buttons become non-responsive.

Thanks

Hello Alex,

I understand. In this case you should set the ShouldHandleMouseInput property for the label element to false. Here is the modified sample:

RadLabelElement label = new RadLabelElement();
label.ShouldHandleMouseInput = false;
label.Margin = new Padding(5, 0, 5, 0);
label.Text = "UP";
label.TextAlignment = ContentAlignment.TopCenter;
label.Click += new EventHandler(label_Click);
this.radGridView1.TableElement.VScrollBar.FirstButton.Children.Add(label);
this.radGridView1.TableElement.VScrollBar.MinSize = new Size(50, 0);

I hope this helps.

All the best,
