You can customize the display and operation of the scroll bars on the spreadsheet. The parts of the scroll bars are shown in the following figure.

Setting scroll bar

You can use the properties of the FpSpread class to apply scroll bars settings for the entire component. Also, to set the scroll bars for the viewports, use the properties in the SpreadView class. The table below links to properties in the FpSpread class.

Scroll bar width

To increase the width of the scroll bar, for example, you could change the tab strip ratio to 0.25, which would divide the area between 25% for the tab strip and 75% for the scroll bar, and allocate an area larger than the default to the scroll bar. For more information on the tab strip, refer to Customizing the Sheet Name Tabs.

Event

There are two events that indicate that the end user has moved the scroll bars. The TopChange event is raised when the end user moves the vertical scroll bar. The LeftChange event is raised when the horizontal scroll bar is moved. There is no event raised to indicate that the user has resized the tab strip.

Smooth Scrolling

By default, scrollbars scroll the sheet by row and column. But, you can set smooth scrolling by setting the VerticalScrollBarMode and HorizontalScrollBarMode properties of the FpSpread class.You can set the following values for the VerticalScrollMode and HorizontalScrollMode enumeration.

VerticalScrollBarSmallChange * MouseWheelScrollLine 

Sample Code

The following sample code sets the scroll bar of the control.Scroll bars appear larger than the default size. For scrolling horizontally, the spreadsheet scrolls as you move the scroll box; for scrolling vertically, the scroll bar tip shows the row number, but the spreadsheet does not scroll until you are done.

FarPoint.Win.Spread.FpSpread fpSpread1 = new FarPoint.Win.Spread.FpSpread();
FarPoint.Win.Spread.SheetView shv = new FarPoint.Win.Spread.SheetView();
fpSpread1.Location = new Point(10, 10);
fpSpread1.Height = 250;
fpSpread1.Width = 400;
Controls.Add(fpSpread1);
fpSpread1.Sheets.Add(shv);
fpSpread1.HorizontalScrollBarPolicy = FarPoint.Win.Spread.ScrollBarPolicy.Always;
fpSpread1.VerticalScrollBarPolicy = FarPoint.Win.Spread.ScrollBarPolicy.AsNeeded;
// Setting vertical bar pixel change
fpSpread1.VerticalScrollBarSmallChange = 10;
// Setting Vertical scroll mode to PixelEnhanced to support pixel scrolling through mouse
fpSpread1.VerticalScrollBarMode = FarPoint.Win.VerticalScrollMode.PixelEnhanced;
fpSpread1.HorizontalScrollBarHeight = 30;
fpSpread1.VerticalScrollBarWidth = 30;
fpSpread1.ScrollBarMaxAlign = true;
fpSpread1.ScrollBarShowMax = true;
fpSpread1.ScrollBarTrackPolicy = FarPoint.Win.Spread.ScrollBarTrackPolicy.Horizontal;
fpSpread1.ScrollTipPolicy = FarPoint.Win.Spread.ScrollTipPolicy.Vertical;

Dim FpSpread1 As New FarPoint.Win.Spread.FpSpread()
Dim shv As New FarPoint.Win.Spread.SheetView()
FpSpread1.Location = New Point(10, 10)
FpSpread1.Height = 250
FpSpread1.Width = 400
Controls.Add(FpSpread1)
FpSpread1.Sheets.Add(shv)
FpSpread1.HorizontalScrollBarPolicy = FarPoint.Win.Spread.ScrollBarPolicy.Always
FpSpread1.VerticalScrollBarPolicy = FarPoint.Win.Spread.ScrollBarPolicy.AsNeeded
// Setting vertical bar pixel change
fpSpread1.VerticalScrollBarSmallChange = 10;
// Setting Vertical scroll mode to PixelEnhanced to support pixel scrolling through mouse
fpSpread1.VerticalScrollBarMode = FarPoint.Win.VerticalScrollMode.PixelEnhanced;
FpSpread1.HorizontalScrollBarHeight = 30
FpSpread1.VerticalScrollBarWidth = 30
FpSpread1.ScrollBarMaxAlign = True
FpSpread1.ScrollBarShowMax = True
FpSpread1.ScrollBarTrackPolicy = FarPoint.Win.Spread.ScrollBarTrackPolicy.Horizontal
FpSpread1.ScrollTipPolicy = FarPoint.Win.Spread.ScrollTipPolicy.Vertical

The following sample code displays all the scroll bar buttons.

fpSpread1.VerticalScrollBar.Buttons = FarPoint.Win.Spread.ScrollBarButtons.HomeEnd | FarPoint.Win.Spread.ScrollBarButtons.PageUpDown | FarPoint.Win.Spread.ScrollBarButtons.LineUpDown | FarPoint.Win.Spread.ScrollBarButtons.Thumb;
fpSpread1.HorizontalScrollBar.Buttons = FarPoint.Win.Spread.ScrollBarButtons.HomeEnd | FarPoint.Win.Spread.ScrollBarButtons.LineUpDown | FarPoint.Win.Spread.ScrollBarButtons.PageUpDown | FarPoint.Win.Spread.ScrollBarButtons.Thumb;

FpSpread1.VerticalScrollBar.Buttons = FarPoint.Win.Spread.ScrollBarButtons.HomeEnd Or FarPoint.Win.Spread.ScrollBarButtons.PageUpDown Or FarPoint.Win.Spread.ScrollBarButtons.LineUpDown Or FarPoint.Win.Spread.ScrollBarButtons.Thumb
FpSpread1.HorizontalScrollBar.Buttons = FarPoint.Win.Spread.ScrollBarButtons.HomeEnd Or FarPoint.Win.Spread.ScrollBarButtons.LineUpDown Or FarPoint.Win.Spread.ScrollBarButtons.PageUpDown Or FarPoint.Win.Spread.ScrollBarButtons.Thumb

2. In the property list for the component (in the Behavior category), select one of the scroll bar properties.
3. Click the drop-down arrow to display the choices and select a value. Repeat this for each property.
4. From the File menu choose Apply and Exit to apply your changes to the component and exit Spread Designer.

Horizontal Scrolling using Mouse Wheel

Spread provides a convenient way to navigate horizontally within a worksheet using the mouse wheel and Ctrl+ Shift keys.

• To scroll Right: Hold the Ctrl + Shift keys and scroll down the mouse wheel.
• To Scroll Left: Hold the Ctrl + Shift keys and scroll up the mouse wheel.

This feature is enabled in a worksheet by default. However, if you wish to disable the horizontal scrolling functionality then use the following code in the MouseWheel event.

private void FpSpread1_MouseWheel(object sender, MouseEventArgs e)
 {
     if ((Control.ModifierKeys & (Keys.Control | Keys.Shift)) == (Keys.Control | Keys.Shift) && e is HandledMouseEventArgs handledMouseEventArgs)
         {
           handledMouseEventArgs.Handled = true;
         }
 }

Private Sub FpSpread1_MouseWheel(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As MouseEventArgs)
 Dim handledMouseEventArgs As HandledMouseEventArgs = Nothing
 If (Control.ModifierKeys And (Keys.Control Or Keys.Shift)) Is (Keys.Control Or Keys.Shift) AndAlso CSharpImpl.__Assign(handledMouseEventArgs, TryCast(e, HandledMouseEventArgs)) IsNot Nothing Then 
     handledMouseEventArgs.Handled = True
 End If
