I have an xtragrid with MemoEdit column.
The memoedit has a vertical scrollbar which is displayed only if the row is focused.
Is there a way to show the scrollbar when the row is not focused as well, so the user will know that the text is longer than what he see?

Hello Kasambian,
Unfortunately, the grid doesn't provide this ability. However, you can use the GridView.OptionsView.RowAutoHeight property to adjust the height of each data row and completely display the contents of its cells.
Thank you,
Paul
Since I'm using a banded grid the RowAutoHeight is not an option.
Do you have another solution?
Thanks Kasambian
Hello Kasambian,
Indeed, the AdvBandedGridView doesn't support automatic calculation of row heights because its layout is rather complex. This can result in grid's low performance. However, it's possible to implement the similar algorithm using the CalcRowHeight event. I've attached a corresponding sample. Please take into account that it might not work for a more complex layout.
Thank you,
Paul
Thank you for the example.
My case is a bit different.
The memoedit doesn't stand alone in the band.
I have a simple column and a memoedit in the same band. The memo edit is bellow the simple column.
The problem is that that changing the row height expands both columns, as a result, the data in the memoedit is hidden.
I need to expand the memoedit column only.
Attached is a solution demonstrating the problem.
Waiting for your respone
Kasambian :)
Hello Kasambian,
Thank you for the clarification. The lines in the AdvBandedGridView can be only of the same height. But, based on your task description, I can offer you an alternative solution that appears to be easer: to use the Preview Featurte to represent full text. Additionally, you can use the MemoExEdit editor instead of MemoEdit to edit the text in-place.
Thank you,
Paul
