Hi Guys,

Here is a useful, very simple indicator code base that is "almost finished".

It will pop up a window and fill a DataGridView with data. That DataGridView could be customized to hold any row/column data, with scrolling, sorting, hide/show rows, et cetera.

The problem I'm trying to solve is that the grid does not have a vertical scroll bar and I can't see all the data.

Also, I would like the grid to resize to fill the entire Form initially and then whenever the Form is resized. And, of course with horizontal and vertical scroll bars if needed.

Any C# gurus out there? The code base could have many different custom applications.

Thanks

In your OnStartUp add the following:

 

Code

MyForm.AutoScroll = true;

This will give you both scrollbars (if doesn't fit in the screen)

For your information - the DataGridView has scrollbars always set to true but since it is setup to autosize it means there is no need for scrollbars since it just fills the space inside the form. That's why in this set up scrollbars on the MyForm are required. Test setting:

 

Code

MyGrid.AutoSize = false;

To see that scrolls on the grid will automatically show up.

OK, I made those two changes, but now get this....

I would like the grid to resize to use the entire form, and to have scroll bars....

 

Code

MyGrid.AutoSize = false;

was only a test for you to do - don't do 2 of those changes at the same time - I explained in my second post of why it behaves the way it does - it is not a bug. You either need to have scrollbars added to MyForm OR your grid needs to have fixed size (you could try setting Height and Width or Maximum Height and Maximum Width to have a compromise)

But first try changing only MyForm (my first post) and see if it suffices.

Yes, using only MyForm.AutoScroll = true worked....

The scroll bars are on the form, which in this case works OK.

I was wanting the scroll bars on the Grid....but this will do for this particular use.

Thank you.

Thanks for sharing this Vantojo!

I am missing the system.data assembly. Do i just need to find the dll on the web and then reference it?

Thanks

System.Data is part of the dot net framework (not ninjatrader) that needs to be installed on your computer...you would not load it individually, it is part of a dot net install

Right now I'm in the middle of an international move...so this is the best I can tell you at the moment

See
You have to add a reference of the assembly, and the .dll should be here:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Reference Assemblies\Microsoft\Framework\.NETFramework\vX.Y\System.Data.dll
