[RESOLVED] Single Row DataGridView

[toecutter]

is it possible to force a DataGridView to be single row only?

I cannot set the AllowUserToAddRows to false as i need one row.

I cannot re size the grid to display a single row as i need the horizontal scollbar.

If you need one row only then why use datagridview at all? Use several text/combo boxes on a form.
You can place them in any order and make any layout.

the reason being that the amount of textbox's needed could be greater than the forms width.

So that why i am trying to do it this way, using a grid will give me a horizontal scollbar

thx

You can use either a FlowLayout control or simply place some textboxes one under the other.
Is it absolutely critical to have all the data displayed in one row?

Horizontal scrollbars are awful and if you can - it's always to the best to avoid them at all.

As a user I hate it when I must scroll something horizontally. It's unnatural and consumes a lot of time.

Just use this layout:

Item name:
[____________________] 

Item length:          Item width:
[__________]          [__________]

Extra items (list):
[ Extra item #1 ]
[ Extra item #2 ]
[ Extra item #3 ]
[ Extra item #4 ]


etc
