I have already written posts on how to rotate the horizontal scrollbar to look like a vertical scroll bar. But still this does not look and feel like a scrollbar. So I tried making to have a complete scrollbar. Here are my findings.
I tried modifying the jqgridrenderer.js file to have jqgrid to have virtual scrolling. But the siebel applets are designed to hold only the html number of rows records at a time. Each time we click on next recordset button, it fetches the next 10 records. If I comment the line $("#pager_" + placeHolder + "_right div").hide(); in jqgridrenderer.js, I see view 1-10 of 10 records not the full record count in the applet. This means that the applet has 10 records in the grid. I also commented $("#sp_1_pager_" + placeHolder).parent().css("
This concludes that virtual scrolling is not possible. One way we can have it is define the HTML number of rows in applet to say 500 and keep the height of applet to 10 rows only (appx 240px). You can see a scroll bar upto 500 records then you need to click on the horizontal next record set button. This is ofcourse impacting performance.
I tried to do something different. Why can't I build a scrollbar itself. It just needs to buttons and a slider bar, functioning just like a scrollbar. I have a try and finally able to crack something out. The scrollbar looks like this.
And it did work, but only just.
The idea is in PR showUI and BindEvents method, add the html to show three images (up arrow, down arrow and slider bar). On click of the up and down arrows, move the slider up and down. The problem is that how much distance should the slider move. As of now, I moved the slider to middle of the scrollbar and left it there if there are any more records in previous set or next set. If there are none, I moved the slider to either end if the scrollbar.
Here is the PR file. Note that the images are also need for this. Check the video of how this looks here.
Update: PR file for IP 2014 and above is here. Thanks to Sri for sharing the updated PR file.
Cheers!!
