Hi,

Is it possible to get the scroll value from a datagrid vertical scroll bar. If I scroll the side bar down by 3 lines I want to beable to retrieve the value 3 from the datagrid vertical scroll bar. I'm writing a program what utilises the datagrid but when it scrolls down it throws out the calculations. Is there a way to get the scroll value?

I have tried adding a handler but that only tells me that the scroll bar has been moved, not if it has been moved up or down

Thanks

Pete*

I don't think it exposes this property. You may have to attach a <s>horizontal</s> vertical scrollbar to your form and calculate it this way.

OK, I tried do do that but I just could notn think of a way to do it. Anyway It just so happens that I downloaded a copy of Visual Basic 2005 express Edition. The fully working frebie directly from microsoft earlier this month. I decided to install it on my lappers and convert my projust into it to see if that would help. It did. The new datagrid has tons of options that is not in my Visual Basic 2003, part of my Visual Studio 2003 enterprise. This includes an easy way to count rows and columns without using the dataset or datatable and datagrid.VerticalScrollingOffset which I used lastnight to calulate how far the vertical scroll has moved. You should try it out. it's fully working and free to use until Nov 6th 2006. After that it shoulf cost around $49

Thanks

Nice info. I have Visual Studio 2005 but have not had a chance to try it out. I am really looking forward to the new features.

From what I have seen this should be possible using a vertical scrollbar, but if it is done for you in 2005 why put in the time.

I'm wondering what ur idea was for using the vertical scrollbar with a datagrid. As I said b4 I did think of it but could not think of a way to utilise it. VB.NET 2005 is really good. The only thing I don't like is that the datagridview is slow at populating. it takes about 8 seconds. A datagrid in vb.net 2003 takes about 5 seconds and a datagris in VB6 takes about 3 seconds. These figures relate to populating 36521 lines of data from a MS access DB with 7 columns. I manually program in the populate routine using a dataset not dragging & dropping in VB/ASP.

Thanks Pete*

P.S. I have just tried the free version of ASP.NET 2005, Wow it's good. I'm just about to try and convert one of my asp site. That should be funny.
