Comments on: Setting the horizontal scrollbar policy on a DataGrid control in Flex http://blog.flexexamples.com/2008/08/27/setting-the-horizontal-scrollbar-policy-on-a-datagrid-control-in-flex/ Just a bunch of Adobe Flex Examples Sun, 12 Feb 2012 19:26:49 +0000 hourly 1 By: Alessandro http://blog.flexexamples.com/2008/08/27/setting-the-horizontal-scrollbar-policy-on-a-datagrid-control-in-flex/comment-page-1/#comment-9186 Alessandro Tue, 03 May 2011 10:26:53 +0000 http://blog.flexexamples.com/2008/08/27/setting-the-horizontal-scrollbar-policy-on-a-datagrid-control-in-flex/#comment-9186 Hi Peter, I have this problem with datagrid, and I see the same problem in your example: Setting horizontalScrollPolicy=ON , when I stretch a column, the last column will stretch too, becoming larger, sometimes very large. I tried setting resizable=false, and also re-setting its width to the original value when the width change, but nothing works. Do you know how to solve this? Thanks Ale Hi Peter,

After changing that to assigning a fixed width, the scroll bars seem to work fine. What I wanted to achieve with minWidth was, that if the user decided to increase the size of the Panel, the DG would fill out all of it, but I wanted to ensure that certain columns can not get smaller than a certain value. Well, I guess the minWidth thing is not that important. The scoll bars work fine as long as I don't set minWidth.

Sorry. The number in front of a row basically means the level of indention/nesting. The indention did not work. Sorry. The number in front of a row basically means the level of indention/nesting.

The displayed horizontal scroll bar is extending beyond the visible part of the Panel. I can never see the "right arrow" of the scroll bar since I can not scroll the Panel to display it. Am I doing something wrong with the heights and widths? My page basically is: 1 VBox 2 HBox W 100%, H 48 pixel) 2 TabNavigator (w 100%, H 95%) 3 VBox ("tab1" W 100% H 100%) 4 VDividedBox (W 100% H 100%) 5 HDividedBox (W 100% H 60%) 6 Custom Panel control (W 25% H 100%) 7 DataGrid (W 100% H 100% ; the one in question!) 6 TabNavigator (W 75% H 100%) 5 Custom control (HDividedBox (W 100% H 40%)) 3 VBox ("tab 2" W 100% H 100% I am also using custom item renderes in the grid (derived from Label and Canvas). I could also send a screen shot to you per email if that is of any help. Thanks for trying to help me out on this.

My DG is in a Panel. The DG is set to width and height at 100%. Vertical scrolling works as expected. My columns intentionally extend beyond the display area that the DG has available. I would expect the behavior to be as shown above, but for some reason it is squeezing all columns into the available space instead of making them go out of bounds with scroll bar. If I turn the scroll policy on, it does extend out of bounds and display the horizontal scroll bar, but the vertical scroll bar goes out of bounds too and I have to scroll right in order to be able to scroll down ?! I want to vertical scroll bar to stay within the visible area as shown above. Does anybody know how I can make the vertical scroll bar stay within the viewable area of my panel? Hi,

Is there any way to have the scroll work smoothly over large fields? ie. A field could be only partly shown on the left side of the view? Love your site!
