I am developing an App for a touchscreen. I have been asked to make the size of the scroll bars bigger so the users can use them. So far I have not been able to get this sorted. I read that if you increase the width of MainForm window scroll bar then dataGridView will inherit it. I have tried a few things but so far have failed to get it to work.
The two closest ways I tried are
1) When I build the grid I add the following
foreach (Control ctrl in dataGridView1.Controls)
if (ctrl.GetType() == typeof(VScrollBar))
ctrl.Width = 86;
Unfortunately this seems to get the Width of 17 but not able to override it with this new value of 86.
Next I put this into where I build the MainForm still no good the vertical scroll bar still looks the same.
2) I find that I could add a scroll bar from the tool box. A bit of progress here until I try to connect to dataGridView. This I cannot do. I have an event so everytime it is moved I should be able to move the grid. Below commented out are a few items that I use to make sure I am getting a value.
private void vScrollBar1_Scroll(object sender, ScrollEventArgs e)
{
//MessageBox.Show(vScrollBar1.Value.ToString());
// MessageBox.Show(SystemInformation.VerticalScrollBarWidth.ToString());
// CalculateVerticalScrollbarWidth() * 4;
}
So I thought I would ask the audience of higher intelligence than me as someone may have solved this and will share the answer with me.
