[RESOLVED] DataGrid usability

Hello!

I was wondering if anyone already try to make a datagrid act like a itemlist in matters of scrolling rows using the finger. It is very annoying to use the vertical bar sometimes.
I know, i could use the itemlist with custom items to create the same effect but i was just wondering if there was some kind of solution for this annoying control so called DataGrid.

thanks

Take a look at Mirabyte controls - do exactly what you need, or BeeMobile4.Net

There must be a way of doing this without 3rd party controls!
Thanks for your answer though

Edit: BeeMobile4.Net and Mirabyte don't offer grids as far as i know. Plus, they have a poor or none optimization for Windows mobile 6.1 and are extremely slow for big amounts of displayed data.

Sorry - resco for your grid controls.

Why not use mousedown and mouseup events, and use keypreview, and scroll programatically?

Hi Pete, i couldn't find a way to scroll programatically...that's why

Finally managed how to programatically scroll a datagrid with the help of several websites code samples.

Here's a test implementation of the code below and a custom up/down column:

VB Code:

Imports System.Reflection
 
Class ScrollDataGrid
    Inherits DataGrid
    Dim fi As Reflection.FieldInfo
 
    Public Function ScrollTo(ByVal ivalue As Integer) As Boolean
        Try
            fi = Me.GetType().GetField("m_sbVert", BindingFlags.NonPublic Or BindingFlags.GetField Or BindingFlags.Instance)
            CType(fi.GetValue(Me), VScrollBar).Value = ivalue
            Me.CurrentRowIndex = ivalue
        Catch ex As Exception
            '
        End Try
    End Function
 
End Class
