smooth scroll

created 16 years ago

Dear DevExpress team,
I read the question B2682 about smooth scrolling. I have the same request and since I did not find a corresponding suggestion I hereby propose this as a suggestion. I have grid cells with up to 99 lines of text. They definitely do not fit into a usual screen. I would appreciate to scroll the grid in a manner that I could see and edit every part of the cell and nothing is hidden.
Thank you very much in advance
Best wishes
Toni

    Hello Toni,
    Thank you for the suggestion. However, we are not planning to introduce this functionality. Scrolling within the Grid is performed by rows. Unfortunately, there is no way to correctly implement scrolling by pixels, because it will be rather difficult to calculate the necessary scroll bar size and the current scroll bar position. With this approach, the Grid will also work slowly in the case of a large amount of data. I can only suggest that you either use a different editor type (e.g. MemoExEdit), or programmatically restrict the maximum row height by handling the GridView's CalcRowHeight event. Please review the scroll by content thread, demonstrating a solution to the problem you are currently experiencing.
    Thanks,
    Stan.
