OK.

This works -> 
This doesn't -> 

I get an error:
Error #1010: A term is undefined and has no properties.

Any ideas??

this.width - 20 is equal to the vbox width.  Just not sure why it
doesn't work.

Try binding your VBOX width to your dataGrid.



Its worth a shot :)

There is typically a padding around every container.. Either change this to
see if it helps, or set the vbox scroll policies to off.

  Setting the horizontal scroll policy to auto produces 2 scroll bars.
  My datagrid is in a vbox (width=100% to fill the panel).  My
  datagrid's width is 100% to fill the vbox.

  When you set horizontal scroll policy to auto it creates a huge
  datagrid that will no longer fit into the vbox.  So now I get a scroll
  bar on the vbox.  To use the vertical scroll bar on the datagrid I
  need to scroll the vbox horizontal scroll bar all the way to the right.

  Still no fix for this problem.  Any thoughts.


  This is an image with the VBOX width = 100%, with the datagrid inside
  with a width=100%; the horizontal scroll policy is set to auto on the
  datagrid.

Setting the horizontal scroll policy to auto produces 2 scroll bars.
My datagrid is in a vbox (width=100% to fill the panel).  My
datagrid's width is 100% to fill the vbox.

When you set horizontal scroll policy to auto it creates a huge
datagrid that will no longer fit into the vbox.  So now I get a scroll
bar on the vbox.  To use the vertical scroll bar on the datagrid I
need to scroll the vbox horizontal scroll bar all the way to the right.

Still no fix for this problem.  Any thoughts.


This is an image with the VBOX width = 100%, with the datagrid inside
with a width=100%; the horizontal scroll policy is set to auto on the
datagrid.

Set the DataGrid's horizontalScrollPolicy to "auto".

 dgResults.horizontalScrollPolicy = "auto";

[flexcoders] Re: Datagrid Scrolling -- Is it really this complicated?

[phipzkillah]

This seems like a good way to approach this problem.  I don't know too
much about the VScrollBar, but it seems straight forward.

These are its properties:
lineScrollSize="1"
maxScrollPosition="0"
minScrollPosition="0"
pageScrollSize="Reset to the pageSize parameter of
setScrollProperties"
pageSize="0"
scrollPosition="0"

How can I dynamically set all these values to emulate the EXACT look
of the datagrids vertical scroll bar?

[phipzkillah]

Tracy,

I tried that before I created this posting.  The problem with using
the canvas as your scrolling medium is when you vertically scroll down
you will loose the header to your datagrid (your scrolling the canvas
which the datagrid is a part of).

You could put an instance of VScrollBar on the right hand side and have 
it control the DataGrid, and hide the original scrollbar.

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.

[flexcoders] Re: Datagrid Scrolling -- Is it really this complicated?

[phipzkillah]

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.
