- Sub: ¿ Titled Gridviews ?
-
-
-
- Hi !
-
-
- My application calls for a gridview that's five columns wide (wider than the
- small screens) and an indeterminate number of rows tall, scrollable both
- horizontally and vertically.
-
- The only catch is that the columns require headings. I don't want the column
- titles to disappear when the user scrolls vertically, but I do want them to
- scroll horizontally with the columns.
-
- i.e.
-
- Title1 Title2 Title3 Title4 Title5
- --------------------------------------------------------------
- cell11 | cell12 | cell13 | cell14 | cell15
- cell21 | cell22 | cell23 | cell24 | cell25
- cell31 | cell32 | cell33 | cell34 | cell35
-
- I need the region below the dashed line to scroll both h and v, but the title
- region should scroll only horizontally (in synch with the columns).
-
- Additionally, I'd like the columns to be adorned even when there are no data
- rows. Adornments through GridView's cells won't help me, because they only
- adorn themselves if they exist. If I have zero rows, I get zero adornment. If
- I put in a bunch of empty rows, my scrollbars come on, confusing the user since
- there's only empty space to scroll around in (no data).
-
- It strikes me that gridviews with titled, adorned columns that behave this way
- are probably an extremely common use of gridviews, and someone's probably
- addressed this already. I've been playing with two overlapping scrollers, but
- this is clearly Not The Way.
-
- Any hints or suggestions of a better way would be sincerely appreciated.
-
- Thanks,
