How to use a scrollbar in a custom control

[ton]

I use a datagrid control and several onther controls in my custom server
control. I do not want that the datagrid control uses all the space it seems
to need. If the query I show has too many columns I rather use a horizontal
scroll bar to keep it in the space, de webdesigner planned when drawing my
control on his wab page.
I simply kind influence (or keep fixed) keep the height and the width values
of the datagrid.
thanx

Hi Ton,
Use a DIV tag around the datagrid with the OVERFLOW style set to the
one you need.
For eg:
<DIV style="OVERFLOW: auto">put datagrid here</DIV> will use scroll bars if
needed.
<DIV style="OVERFLOW: scroll">put datagrid here</DIV> will always use scroll
bars.

You can do absolute positioning for the DIV to put it in the postition
you need.
Hope this helps.
