I enabled the help panel at the bottom of the grid. For some of the item in the gird, there help information is logn so that the help panel could show only part of it. How can I add a vertical scroller in the help panel? ------------- Keith |

Hi, If you have 13.0 release you can use Markup feature to show scrollbars:
Private Sub Form_Load()
PropertyGrid1.EnableMarkup = True
Dim Category As PropertyGridItem Set Category = PropertyGrid1.AddCategory("Category") Category.Description = "<ScrollViewer><TextBlock TextWrapping='Wrap'>ipsen shmipsen ipsen shmipsen ipsen shmipsen ipsen shmipsen ipsen shmipsen ipsen shmipsen</TextBlock></ScrollViewer>"
End Sub ------------- Oleg, Support Team CODEJOCK SOFTWARE SOLUTIONS |

Hi Oleg,
The idea is great, so I had to try it
 But how can I make the scrollbar actually do something. Scrollbar isn't responding on mouse clicks or what so ever.
Thanks in advance

I tried it with Codejock.PropertyGrid.ActiveX.v13.0. I can see the scrollbar. However the scrollbar is grey'ed-out, cannot be accessed.

I just tested it here with 13.0 and it seems to work. I had to add a lot more "ipsen shmipsen" though, because there weren't enough to activate the scrollbar. Maybe that was the problem Aaron?

Hi Oleg,
I copied your code and added extra "ipsen shmipsen" (about 30 times) and it really doesn't work
 It shows the scrollbar, scrollbar (thumb) does resize when resizing helpsection height but it doesn't react on mouse (click / mouseover)
Can I check something else?
Thanks

Hi Oleg,
You wouldn't believe it when I say it didn't work because in IDE I did set .EnableMarkUp = True and when setting .EnableMarkup = True in code it will behave like I already mentioned
 Really!!! Try it yourself

Hi,
Yes, its can be true. If EnableMarkup set before window is created - Markup will not get window handle to react to events. It was resaon I asked to try exactly same code :):) ------------- Oleg, Support Team CODEJOCK SOFTWARE SOLUTIONS |

Hi Oleg,
So you suggest better to set EnableMarkup = True in code? I also noticed this with ReportControl, before doing anything (adding columns, adding records etc etc) I had to set EnableMarkup = True otherwise it didn't work...
Thanks

Try putting a negative right margin in your ScrollViewer:
You might have to adjust the -2 to another number... ------------- Product: Xtreme SuitePro (ActiveX) version 16.2.6 Platform: Windows XP - SP3 Language: Visual Basic 6.0 SP6 |

Hi Jason,
It's working
I had to use -3 to align scrollbar same as right side of propertygrid scrollbar. ScrollViewer scrollbar width is just one pixel smaller but who will notice that... (I did notice it, but I don't want to complain all the time  )Thanks a lot

i was in search for such an option in Help Panel.. Thanks for the help... but i need some more information, can any one help me. ? now the scroll bar is visible all the time. can we do somthing to show scroll bar only if it is needed. For eg, consider the case of grid resizing, we should not show Disabled scrollbar when the help panel size is big, instead of that we can hide the scroll bar.
Any existing way is there to meet my requirement..? kindly help me...
