Hi,
I have 2 questions:

1. I have an editable data grid with 21 columns. I need to edit only 2
cloumns in this data grid. But when the grid is displayed in Edit mode, all
the columns show long text boxes whichmakes the user to SCROLL a lot.
I need only these 2 cloumns to be displayed in Edit mode. Is that possible &
how?

2. Also, even when the data grid is not displayed in the edit mode, it
causes a lot of scrolling. Is there some way to avoid this?

For the first question, have you tried to hide the column? or only cast two
columns in which you require Editing?

For the second question I will suggest using a <div> or <layer> or an
<iframe>,
it will make another scrollable window in ur main web page

Hi Chinmay,

How to cast only 2 cloumns which require editing coz I want to see all the
columns & then with the click of a button, I am exporting this grid to EXcel.
So i need to view all the columns when I click EDIT but only 2 columns should
be displayed in EDIT mode to avoid scrolling.

Do u think a data grid is appropriate or should I use some other control
which avoids a lot of scrolling & also allows editing & updating the database
fileds?

Hi,

I found out how to make only certain columns in data grid editabel. Its
simply a matter of going to the Property builder of the data grid --> columns
& there in Selected columns ...checking the Read only to true for the text
boxes which you dont want to be edited.

Its as simple as that. But if you could please tell me how to use <frame >
tag on a data grid coz <frame > has a SRC property which is set to the web
page one wants to scroll. But to use it with a data grid? The web page in
which I have the data grid has another table & a button. When the user clicks
the button , based on user's input recorrds are displayed in data grid.

I just want the <frame > tag on the data grid & not on the table. Or if
anyone has any other ideas to AVOID a lot of scrolling for the user coz my
DATA GRID has 21 COLUMNS.

Put this code in the ASPX
<div id="DGMainHolder" style="Z-INDEX: 1; OVERFLOW: scroll; WIDTH: 755px;
POSITION: static; HEIGHT: 300px">Your DataGrid Code</div>

Hi Chinmay,

I used the <div> tag. But my web page also has a few text boxes & a few
lables before the data grid. So when I used the <div> tags & scrolled
vertically, the data grid scrolls up into the text boxes & labels. I want to
make only the grid vertically scrollable so that it doesnt move inside the
labels & text boxes on scrolling.

Any help is appreciated.
Thanks

Well! In this case I suggest you to seperate ur UI in Table Cells.
See the code
<table>
<tr>
<td>Ur Other Controls</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>ur Div and Datagrid</td>
</tr>
</table>

Hi Chinmay,

I tried putting my HTML table(which contains labels & text boxes) & the
data grid into another table & put the 1st table as a row in the outher table
& the data grid as one row & buttons & everything as other rows.... But it
doesnt work... All the controls lay in a haphazard way when I did this...

I am using the following code. Please tell me what can i do with it so that
only the data grid is scrollable & not the table above it... I would be
grateful for ur help.

HTML Code::

You'll have to remove Style tags which are specifying the position of the
controls, and don't look at the UI that DEV Env. shows, run the page and than
see for ur self!
