How to resolve scrolling position issue in WinForms GridControl or GridDataBoundGrid?

Scrollbar thumbtrack position

By default, the scrollbar’s ThumbTrack position is set based on the column position and row position. But the ThumbTrack is not set to the correct position when grid’s RowHeaders and ColumnHeaders are disabled with the RowHeaders and ColumnHeaders property. The following screenshot illustrates the exact issue.

Solution

The vertical scrollbars and horizontal scrollbar’s ThumbTrack can be tracked to correct scroll position by enabling the UseOldHiddenScrollLogic static property of the GridControlBase. This property is set before the InitializeComponent or grid initializing code.

//The following property is enabled above the grid initialization code or InitializeComponent()
GridControlBase.UseOldHiddenScrollLogic = true;
InitializeComponent();

'The following property is enabled above the grid initialization code or InitializeComponent()
GridControlBase.UseOldHiddenScrollLogic = true
InitializeComponent

C#: ScrollBar_ThumTrack_Position_CS

VB: ScrollBar_ThumTrack_Position_VB
