Limit size of datagrid

[Paul]

not sure if I should post this in the web controls newsgroup but just
wondering if there is a way to limit the size of a datagrid and instead of
cutting dat off the user will have a scroll down bar as is done in some
windows applications.
thanks.

One way is to place the datagrid in a scrolling div.

<div style="OVERFLOW: auto; HEIGHT: 100px; WIDTH: 400px;">
<asp:DataGrid id="dgMyGrid" Width="380px" runat="server" CellPadding="0">
</asp:DataGrid>
</div>

Hope this helps,

Hi Joel thanks for the information. This seems to be working as I have
<div style="OVERFLOW: auto; HEIGHT: 100px; WIDTH: 900px; POSITION: 100,200;">
datagrid
div end tag,
except that I am not able to position it, not sure if I am using the
POSITION correctly but it is currently at the top left section of the form.
Also the user has to scroll down just to see the grid but I think I can fix
this by reducing the HEIGHT of the scrolling div.
Thanks Paul.

Try using TOP and LEFT instead of POSITION

Cheers!

In addition to Joel's solution, you might want to also check out this FAQ:
http://datawebcontrols.com/faqs/Cust...edHeader.shtml

It shows how to create a scrollable DataGrid with fixed headers.

Happy Programming!

ok thanks, ended up using the following, with a border around it.
<div style="BORDER-RIGHT: navy 2px solid; PADDING-RIGHT: 1px; BORDER-TOP:
navy 2px solid; PADDING-LEFT: 1px; LEFT: 0px; PADDING-BOTTOM: 1px; OVERFLOW:
auto; BORDER-LEFT: navy 2px solid; WIDTH: 850px; PADDING-TOP: 1px;
BORDER-BOTTOM: navy 2px solid; POSITION: relative; TOP: 204px; HEIGHT: 110px">
