Perhaps you could put the DataGrid in a Canvas, and let the Canvas provide the scrolling.

Patrick, I have a toggle bar which controls the amount of columns being shown to the user. Each field [column] is relevant to the corresponding record [row]. There are situations where the user will want to see all the columns at once -- even though it will probably cause them a headache. Is it possible to do this and have the vertical scroll bar always shown? Also by any chance, has anyone ever seen the datagrid header fields rendered into a drop down list for filtering (which is what Excel does when you apply the 'list')? I saw a sample online but it was developed in Flex 1.5 and couldn't get it to work. --- In [email protected] <mailto:flexcoders%40yahoogroups.com> , Patrick Mineault <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Granted, the behaviour of the datagrid is not optimal, but then again, > why would you want to show 68 columns simultaneously?
