UltraGrid Cell Formatting | Infragistics Forums

Okay, I see the issue now. It's a pretty subtle change. The first line of text is okay, but after that the text wrapping has to change due to the decreased available width of the cell.

CellActivation doesn't seem to make any difference here, it's just the VertScrollBar that does it.

There are basically two ways you could deal with this.

1) Make the scrollbar show all the time.

2) Leave a space in the cell where the scrollbar would be.

Personally, I think it will probably make the grid look pretty cluttered to have a scrollbar always display in every cell of the column. And in fact, the grid doesn't expose any way to do this in v8.3. If you had the latest version of the controls, you could use the new UltraControlContainerEditor to embed a TextBox into the cell and leave the scrollbar on all the time. But the UltraControlContainerEditor was not available in v8.3.

Leaving a space would have to be done using a CreationFilter and this could be done in v8.3.This is actually a pretty simple CreationFilter.



        public class MyCreationFilter : IUIElementCreationFilter
        {
            #region IUIElementCreationFilter Members

            void IUIElementCreationFilter.AfterCreateChildElements(UIElement parent)
            {
                if (parent is EditorWithTextUIElement)
                {
                    UltraGridCell cell = parent.GetContext(typeof(UltraGridCell)) as UltraGridCell;
                    if (cell != null && cell.Column.Key == "Column 0")
                    {
                        EditorWithTextDisplayTextUIElement editorWithTextDisplayTextUIElement = parent.GetDescendant(typeof(EditorWithTextDisplayTextUIElement)) as EditorWithTextDisplayTextUIElement;
                        if (editorWithTextDisplayTextUIElement != null)
                        {
                            Rectangle rect = editorWithTextDisplayTextUIElement.Rect;
                            editorWithTextDisplayTextUIElement.Rect = new Rectangle(
                                rect.X,
                                rect.Y,
                                rect.Width - SystemInformation.VerticalScrollBarWidth,
                                rect.Height);
                        }
                    }
                }
            }

            bool IUIElementCreationFilter.BeforeCreateChildElements(UIElement parent)
            {
                return false;
            }

            #endregion
