how can I enable scrollbars on the WPF Datagrid?
When I run the following Northwind WPF Toolkit Datagrid code from this article, I get a datagrid, but there are no scrollbars and hence the user can only see part of the datagrid. I am using the newest version March 2009.
What do I need to specify so that the WPF Datagrid has scrollbars?
I tried putting the datagrid in a ScrollViewer but that didn't help.
XAML:
<Window x:Class="TestDataGrid566.Window1"
xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
xmlns:toolkit="http://schemas.microsoft.com/wpf/2008/toolkit"
Title="Window1" Height="600" Width="800">
<StackPanel>
<toolkit:DataGrid x:Name="TheDataGrid" AutoGenerateColumns="True"/>
</StackPanel>
</Window>
code-behind:
using System.Linq;
using System.Windows;
using TestDataGrid566.Model;
namespace TestDataGrid566
{
public partial class Window1 : Window
{
public Window1()
{
InitializeComponent();
NorthwindDataContext db = new NorthwindDataContext();
var customers = from c in db.Customers
select c;
TheDataGrid.ItemsSource = customers;
}
}
}
Solution 1:
Put the DataGrid
in a Grid
, DockPanel
, ContentControl
or directly in the Window
. A vertically-oriented StackPanel
will give its children whatever vertical space they ask for - even if that means it is rendered out of view.
Solution 2:
WPF4
<DataGrid AutoGenerateColumns="True" Grid.Column="0" Grid.Row="0"
ScrollViewer.CanContentScroll="True"
ScrollViewer.VerticalScrollBarVisibility="Auto"
ScrollViewer.HorizontalScrollBarVisibility="Auto">
</DataGrid>
with : <ColumnDefinition Width="350" />
& <RowDefinition Height="300" />
works fine.
Scrollbars don't show with <ColumnDefinition Width="Auto" />
& <RowDefinition Height="300" />
.
Also works fine with: <ColumnDefinition Width="*" />
& <RowDefinition Height="300" />
in the case where this is nested within an outer <Grid>
.
