Scrollbar within a ListGridField?

[user316]

Hello,

Is it possible to add a horizontal scrollbar within a ListGrid field? For example a field that contains 4000 characters within it is wrapping a lot, using up many vertical lines, but is it feasible to put a scrollbar inside the field so it takes up less space? See screenshot:

The ListGrid already has a horizontal scrollbar at the bottom, but it is for the entire ListGrid, not an individual field.

You can do this via showRecordComponents with showRecordComponentsByCell. You would just a Canvas with the field's content.

You would definitely want to use recordComponentPoolingMode:"recycle" for performance, and use setContents() to update the contents in updateRecordComponent().

A final refinement would be preserving horizontal scroll positions by added a Scrolled handler and storing the scroll position in the record, so you can restore it in updateRecordComponent().

However, this is definitely a bit of an unusual interface. You might consider a hover, combined with perhaps clicking to view the content in some way that won't require horizontal scrolling, which is awkward.
