horizontal scrollbar not showing on datagrid when data is empty and headers do not fit on screen

Question

I have tried the following :

ScrollViewer.CanContentScroll=\"True\"
ScrollViewer.HorizontalScrollBarVisibility=\"Visible\"

But it does not seem

Answer 1

the below solution will work. since listbox width is set to datagrid width scroll bar will be visble.

<ScrollViewer HorizontalScrollBarVisibility="Auto" CanContentScroll="True">
            <Grid>
                <ListBox Width="{Binding ElementName=myGrid,Path=ActualWidth}"></ListBox>
                <DataGrid Name="myGrid"></DataGrid>
            </Grid>

        </ScrollViewer>

Answer 2

There must be a possibility to do it, because Extended WPF Toolkit has done it!

Lets assume that you have e.g. this class:

public class ExampleClass
{
    public int LongPropertyNameA;
    public int LongPropertyNameB;
    public int LongPropertyNameC;
    public int LongPropertyNameD;
    public int LongPropertyNameE;
    public int LongPropertyNameF;
}

The normal approach looks like this:
The Headers are hidden. The XAML Code looks e.g. like this:

<busGeneratorMvvm:CustomDataGrid ItemsSource="{Binding YourData}" IsReadOnly="True" />

When you use the WPT Toolkit DataGrid Library (called Xceed.Wpf.DataGrid.dll) the grid looks like this with the scrollbars you want:
The XAML Code looks e.g. like this:

<xcdg:DataGridControl ItemsSource="{Binding YourData}" >

where xcdg is the namespace defined in the Window tag with this XAML Code:

<Window ...
        xmlns:xctk="http://schemas.xceed.com/wpf/xaml/toolkit"
        ...
    >

Conclusion:
If you want it very easy download the Xceed WPF Toolkit and use the DataGridControl.

• Download the .dll from the website (search the internet for the free version)
• Add the .dll to the references of your project
• Use and enjoy the DataGridControl

Hope it helps!
