iGrid.NET Control Tour - Additional Screenshots

Controlling scroll bars

iGrid.NET provides you with properties and methods which allow you to adjust the appearance and behavior of its scroll bars as you like. You can apply a custom color theme to them, disable them, or make them always visible or hidden. It is even possible to make the scroll bars semi-transparent:

Draw your attention to the two square buttons with the plus and minus signs on the vertical scroll bar. These are custom buttons you can add to any scroll bar. You can add as many custom buttons with your own icons as you need and process user clicks on those buttons!

Right-to-left mode

iGrid.NET fully supports right-to-left scripts, such as Arabic and Hebrew. When you set the RightToLeft property to True, the grid 'reverses' its interface accordingly:

Selection in iGrid.NET

iGrid.NET supports single cell, multiple cells, single row, and multiple rows selection. Multiple cells/rows can be selected with the CTRL key + mouse click, mouse click, and mouse dragging with the left button pressed. The appearance of the selected cells/rows and current cell can be customized with both opaque and semi-transparent colors. You can even create non-selectable cells.

The following picture demonstrates how iGrid.NET marks the new selected area with a semi-transparent color when you move the mouse pointer in multi-selection mode holding down the mouse button:

Auto-scrolling support

When the user clicks the middle mouse button, iGrid.NET is put into auto-scrolling (or drag-scrolling) mode. Moving the mouse pointer you can adjust the direction and speed of scrolling:

When you click the middle button, a marker pops up on the screen showing the reference point from which scrolling will occur. The arrows on the marker indicate the possible scrolling directions. This works like in Internet Explorer and MS Office applications.

Gridline styles

The grid lines can have different widths, styles (solid, dotted, dashed, etc.), and colors. The GridLines object property allows you to adjust the grid lines used in different parts of iGrid. You can adjust each of the following grid lines independently: the horizontal and vertical grid lines, the extended grid lines, the grid lines for group rows and the grid lines that frame the cells area. On the screenshot below you can see the contents of the GridLines property and the grid with different grid line styles:

Frozen area

You can make any number of iGrid.NET rows and columns non-scrollable (this feature is also known as the frozen rows/columns). The edge of the frozen area can also be adjusted like iGrid.NET's grid lines:
